Sam Vinikoff (British/American/Florida, 1919-2010), "The Fishing Folk, Probably at Big Cypress National Preserve", oil on canvas, signed and dated "79" lower left, signed and titled en verso, 9" x 12". Framed. Sam Vinikoff, known as "Artist of the Everglades", moved to Miami, Florida, with his family in 1957 after serving in the British Army during World War II. Vinikoff initially drew caricatures at Miami Beach hotels and weddings, until he discovered the Everglades, and devoted the last thirty years of his life to capturing the flora, fauna and inhabitants of the Florida wetlands. The majority of his paintings were executed in Big Cypress National Preserve. Accordingly, the Preserve's rangers frequently took him into the swamps in the morning to paint and picked him up in the evening. Vinikoff also painted in the Fakahatchee Strand and Everglades National Park. "It was all so beautiful to him", his daughter stated in his obituary, fondly recalling her father's words, "Where there's water there's fish, and where there's fish there are birds."
