Florida Sculptors and Their Work: 1880-2020 - Hardcover

by Deborah C. Pollack (Author)

With its natural beauty, distinctiveness, and warmth, Florida has attracted an abundance of artists for centuries. While fine art painters have been featured in books about the state, little has been written about the sculptors who have adopted it. To remedy this, Florida Sculptors and Their Work: 1880-2020 is a tribute to these diverse artists.

Organized geographically, from the First Coast and the Panhandle to central Florida and the Gulf Coast, and from the Surf Coast and Treasure Coast to the Gold Coast and the Keys

• Discover how Florida has inspired such world-renowned artists as Augusta Savage, Duane Hanson, Richard Anuszkiewicz, John Chamberlain, Robert Rauschenberg and others

Capturing the Sunshine State's essence, this well-researched and generously illustrated volume tells the fascinating stories of these creative people and reveals secrets behind their three-dimensional art--from realistic to abstract to folk art. This indispensable resource is a must-have for those interested in Florida's art, history, and culture.
