Lot Note:
Conceived during his visits to Florida from the 1930s onward, Eugene Savage's Everglades (or Seminole) series combines a stylized, Regionalist aesthetic with Cubo-Surrealist undertones to document the vanishing wetlands and the daily life of the Seminole tribe. These vibrant compositions emphasize the delicate, symbiotic relationship between the indigenous population and their environment, serving as both cultural record and an early visual plea for ecological preservation.
Framed: 20 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 1 1/2 in.
Minor deposits of surface dirt and dust, notable at left side. No apparent issues under UV. Additional images available upon request.
