For those who greet the holidays with both affection and a touch of irony, this card offers a wry take on seasonal spectacle. In Christmas, Florine Stettheimer transforms festive excess into a dreamlike pageant - figures draped in ribbons, gilded cherubs, and jewel-toned theatrics. It’s celebration as performance, equal parts warmth and artifice.
