Roots Of Knowledge Panel U1

The late 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century was a time for dreamers, in which inventors such as Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla imagined a brighter world, and Sigmund Freud interpreted dreams. Much of this window is occupied by Vincent van Gogh’s Abstract Expressionistic painting Starry Night and symbolist Gustave Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Other parts of the window are occupied by the thoughtful writings of Rudyard Kipling, Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, Benito Pérez Galdós, and Friedrich Nietzsche.
