Gene Moore was born in 1919 and passed away in 1998. He was hired by Tiffany & Co. in 1955 and during his lifetime he created over 5,000 window displays for Tiffany & Co. He was famous for his displays, because of his technique in making actual art into displays. He liked to use stuffed hummingbirds in many of his designs, but the image featured above is one that he created to look like a watermelon; which is featured with a beautiful Tiffany & Co. flower ring. His designs were out of the box because of the textures, foods, and other not so ordinary designs he featured.
