The stained glass windows of the Union Church of Pocantico Hills provide a unique view of the work of two modern masters, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Marc Chagall (1887-1985). Commissioned by the Rockefeller family, the windows represent the last completed work of Matisse and the only cycle of Chagall church windows in the United States.

Every Window Tells a Story: Matisse & Chagall

Students learn about the history of the stained glass windows at Union Church and about Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall, the artists who designed the stained glass windows. Students then carry out a guided interpretation of the windows, geared to their age and ability, followed by an art workshop where they create their own stained glass designs.
