Reflections: Paintings of Florida 1865-1965 illustrates in full color a generous selection of important paintings, many new to the field of scholarship, by some of the most significant artists who worked in Florida between 1865 and 1965. These artists include William Aiken Walker, Martin Johnson Heade, Thomas Hart Benton, Frederic Remington, Herman Herzog, Frederick Carl Frieseke, Walt Kuhn and Jane Peterson.
Essays by Gary R. Libby on each artist represented in this book present a current and authoritative biographical, historical, cultural and aesthetic analysis of each work designed to help the reader appreciate these important cultural objects in context. An essay “The Collectors” explores the creation and maturation of a world-class collection of Florida paintings and the individuals and events that helped shape the collection of Cici and Hyatt Brown, which now numbers well over 2,400 items and contains some of the most important known paintings of Florida.
