until Bluemner's death in 1938, from the university's
extensive Vera Bluemner Kouba Collection. Bluemner (1867-1938) was
a key player in the creation of American Modernism. The
characteristic touches of glowing red in his paintings of the
industrial northeastern United States earned him the nickname
"The Vemillionaire." His daughter bequested more than
1,000 Bluemner paintings, drawings and archival materials to
Stetson. For more information call (386) 822-7270 or visit
