Ocean Moonlight by A.E. Backus
Tribute to Backus
February 22 – March 24, 2012
For more than 20 years, the Backus Museum has presented a Tribute to A.E. Backus the “Dean of Florida Landscape Painters.” No other 20th century artist captured the Florida light quite like he could. Backus came into prominence as a national artist in the 1960s when his work was hung in President Lyndon B. Johnson’s library in Texas and in Senate offices in Washington, D.C. In 1993 he was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame. Selected paintings from the private collection of Eileen and Jonathan Otto will be featured exclusively in this year's tribute show.
