SUMMARY:Picturing Paradise: From John James Audubon to the Florida Highwaymen
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Keri Watson in the auditorium for a free talk: “Picturing Paradise: From John James Audubon to the Florida Highwaymen.” \nThe Florida landscape has provided aesthetic inspiration to artists for centuries. Titian Ramsay Peale and John James Audubon came in search of native flora and fauna\, followed by Harriet Beecher Stowe\, Martin Johnson Heade\, George Inness\, Winslow Homer and Henry Ossawa Tanner\, who were lured by its natural beauty and warm climate. This presentation offers a succinct and engaging history of Florida’s landscape painters. \nFree to attend; no reservation needed. Seating is limited to 250 on a first-come basis. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Keri Watson is an associate professor of art history at the University of Central Florida and co-executive editor for “Panorama: Journal of the Association of Historians of American Art.” She is the author of “This is America: Re-Viewing the Art of the United States” (2023) and editor of the “Routledge Companion to Art and Disability” (2022).
