The Museum of Florida History is proud to present Guy LaBree: Painted Stories of the Seminoles. The exhibit features original and reproduction paintings by Guy LaBree, often considered the foremost artist of Seminole-themed paintings. His artwork portrays Seminole lifestyles, legends, and history, as well as nature scenes.
Also on display are objects from LaBree's studio, such as his easel and the palette he used throughout his entire career. Other artifacts help to demonstrate a connection with the Seminoles that began in childhood when his schoolmates included Seminoles from a nearby reservation. This exhibit celebrates the life and art of Guy LaBree and his unique relationship with the Seminoles of Florida.
