Vangelis quote...
Created by Macy?s Herald Square Director of Windows, Paul Olszewski, each window combines a whimsical Spring Fashion story against the backdrop of Vangelis? floral art. (Paul?s quote) The paintings are suspended at various angles and spring to life with the fluttering help of butterflies, dragonflies, humming birds and buzzing bees. Paintings with titles such as Jealousy, Superstition and Power of Growth stop traffic in busy Herald Square. Forty-two paintings are featured in 24 windows running along 34th street. Handbags, shoes and spring accessories drift through the windows to complete the flowering story.
Vangelis, a native of the Greek island of Crete, was an oil painter from a young age. Early in his career, Vangelis sold his paintings of whitewashed buildings and azure blue seas of his native Greece to visiting tourists. As the years passed he honed his technique while studying the tradition of the old masters, focusing on quality and attention to detail. Vangelis brought his talent to the United States in 1972 where he began to explore nature, hence his new love of expressing the intangible emotional concept of flowers.
