Synopsis

A full-color collection of important paintings, drawings, and prints


Celebrating Florida: Works
of Art from the Vickers Collection illustrates in full color a generous selection of
paintings, drawings, and prints by some of the world's most significant artists
who came to Florida from 1823 to 1950 to capture the "Sunshine State."

This book includes works by George
Cope, William Glackens, Jane Peterson, Martin Johnson Heade, Herman Herzog,
Winslow Homer, George Inness, Frank Shapleigh, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Arrah Lee
Gaul, and William Aiken Walker. Essays on each artist present an aesthetic,
historical, social, and cultural overview designed to illuminate the
significance of the works of art presented.


Featuring
essays by Erik Robinson, former historian at the Museum of Florida History,
Tallahassee, and the late Wendell Garrett, former editor of Antiques magazine,
and Nicolai Cikovsky, former curator of American and British painting at the
National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., this volume helps to situate
individual works in Florida's past. Their essays discuss Florida's history, explore
its society and statehood in 1845, and introduce the Vickers Collection. The new
preface in this paperback edition refreshes readers on the importance of this
collection. In highlighting and contextualizing these influential works, Celebrating Florida places them within
the mainstream of American art.
