{"product_id":"eugene-savage-the-seminole-paintings-art-book-by-elizabeth-barnhart-heuer","title":"Eugene Savage: The Seminole Paintings Art Book by Elizabeth Barnhart Heuer","description":"This is a colorful introduction to an American artist best known today as a muralist with the Works Progress Administration. Eugene Savage (1883-1978) first visited the Florida Everglades in the 1930s, became enchanted with the local Seminole Indian tribe and spent the next 20 years depicting them.\n\nSavages’s paintings, drawings, and watercolors not only document the Seminoles, they are also important works of art in their own right. Each presents Seminole traditions, threatened by encroachment on the Everglades, in an artistic manner reminiscent of Surrealist dreams capes and Art Deco sensibilities.\n\nAlthough Savage’s series is perhaps the most extensive painted record of the Florida Seminoles, art historians have largely overlooked these works in favor of studies of the natives of the American Plains or Southwest. This new volume provides an opportunity to re-assess the artist’s career, and offers new insights into the representation of the Seminoles in American art.\n\nTitle; Eugene Savage: The Seminole Paintings\nAuthor ; Elizabeth Barnhart Heuer\nContributor; Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens\nEdition; illustrated\nPublisher; Cummer Museum of Art \u0026amp; Gardens, 2011\nISBN; 1904832997, 9781904832997","brand":"Harveys On Beverly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58951883587744,"sku":"20N1888.JM.4MS","price":156.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1051\/5185\/6800\/files\/0_20N1888_2__org.jpg?v=1790132120","url":"https:\/\/harveysonbeverly.com\/products\/eugene-savage-the-seminole-paintings-art-book-by-elizabeth-barnhart-heuer","provider":"Harveys On Beverly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
