A facile watercolorist, muralist, and illustrator in the Art Deco period, Robert Lee Eskridge (1891-1975) truly captured the feel of our tropical flowers. “His work is marked by clever drawing, expressive line and very effective color, with a strong sense of composition… Mr. Eskridge has a way of getting a great deal of content into his pictures without making them seem crowded… His harmonic areas and lovely shapes also reveal his understanding of the use of color. (Forbes: Encounters with Paradise, 1992)”
