GOOD LONG LOOK

The Long Island Museum at Stony Brook offers an exhibit of local landscapes from the mid-19th century to the present. “The Little Continent of Long Island” features scenes for which the island is best known: serene seascapes, picturesque farms, and traffic jams on the L.I.E. Paintings by Charles Henry Miller (1842-1922), touted as the artist who discovered the area’s aesthetic potential, are on display along with pieces by Robert Bruce Crane, Jane Wilson, Jane Freilicher, and others. After years overseas, Miller told newspaper reporters, “One does not need to travel abroad to obtain an inspiration from the manifold works of nature. Long Island affords to the observing an ideal spot for landscape study.” The museum is about an hour and a half’s drive from the city.
