All who share a passion for nature’s bounty will be inspired to incorporate flowers in their everyday life. Shaw is founder and editor-in-chief of Flower Magazine, a native of Birmingham, Alabama who studied art history at Hollins College and interior design at the University of Texas. Shaw reached a watershed moment when planning her daughter’s wedding. Working alongside the floral and event designer, she recognized the artistry and inspiration involved in floral design. Unable to locate a publication that spoke to her passion, she launched Flower. Now in its 16th year, the magazine has grown to include features on homes, gardens, entertaining — all portrayed through a botanical lens. Her most recent book, Living Floral, published by Rizzoli, is now in its fifth printing.

Four Arts trustee Forbes pens excellent account of Mizner Children’s book on Palm Beach celebrity is a treat for all ages By Philip Rylands The Four Arts

Robert L. Forbes, Four Arts trustee, has written a children’s book about Addison Mizner.1 He is of course chairman of the Four Arts’ two libraries, and his new book, like a funambulist, adroitly walks the tightrope between our two memberships — both King Library adults and Children’s Library middle-grade. Barbara McClintock’s illustrations give the book the feel of a children’s book, but Readers of any age will be intrigued to learn (or be reminded of — given Mizner’s local celebrity) his storied life thanks to the flowing narrative and the historic photographs excavated (the verb reminds us that Addison and his two brothers were Klondike gold diggers) from a variety of archives, all duly credited on page 41. This was not easy to do — neither fable nor fiction, it narrates Mizner’s career in language accessible to early teenagers. He does so elegantly, without condescension, with a perceptible twinkle in the eye familiar to all who know him. Bob Forbes is a known wordsmith. Barbara McClintock is a known Addison Mizner. Visionary Architect, written by Robert L. Forbes, illustrated by illustrator. Almost 50 titles appear on Barbara McClintock, published by the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach with support from Priscilla and Donald K. Miller and Sallie B. Phillips, with gratitude to her website. Many of them have won Robert L. Forbes, for his vision and generosity. awards. She was born 69 years ago in New Jersey, is an auto-didact, lives in Connecticut and teaches her profession at Wesleyan University. The book opens with Mizner aged 15 (Grover Cleveland was president for the second time) traveling to central and South America with his parents — his first exposure to colonial Spanish architecture. And then perforce the story reverts to his early days in California (“The Mizner siblings were a wild and rowdy bunch…”). Then there is the

episode of his leg injury, 4th of July, 1886, and learning to paint during his convalescence. The peripatetic life takes him to Costa Rica (death of his first pet monkey), Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico; to University in Salamanca in 1892; and then to China and Japan. In 1893 he visited the Chicago World‘s Fair (“It was here that Addison saw an electric light bulb for the first time”), and in 1896 to the Yukon (“… mining was much harder than he expected”), Hawaii and Australia, where he made good use of his childhood boxing skills and his burly physique; then New York where he began at last designing buildings. At the end of World War I came the fateful Photo of The Cloisters Inn in Boca Raton from the book meeting with his fast friend Paris Singer and their joint arrival in Palm Beach. The rest — the imprint of Spanish Colonial architecture on Flagler’s barrier island, High Society, El Mirasol, The Everglades Club, Boca Raton, Via Parigi — is, as they say, ‘history’. Readers both young and mature will find instructive ’boxes’ (The World’s Columbian Exposition, What is an Architect? The Klondike Gold Rush). And at the end a short glossary and a bibliography, to which Addison Mizner. Visionary Architect is henceforth an excellent addition. This is a book which gives us the pleasure, not the grind, of learning. It is a perfect book for parents to read aloud to their offspring. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Robert L. Forbes, Addison Mizner.

The First Four Arts Guild Hall, lender of winter exhibition An Adventure in the Arts, shares a history and similar evolution to Palm Beach’s Society By David Darby The Four Arts

In the spring of 1934, seasonal Palm Beach residents Mrs. Lorenzo E. (Mary) Woodhouse, Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott and Mrs. Frederick (Mary Mackinnon) Johnson helped bring together a group of citizens for the purpose of promoting interest in art, literature, music, and science, with the aim of creating a library and an art museum. First formed as the Civic Arts Association, by January 1936 this group had been renamed The Society of the Four Arts and formed into a nonprofit. Mrs. Johnson became second Vice President and Mrs. Elliott was named honorary president of The Four Arts. As for Mrs. Woodhouse, she became the first Chairman of the Board of Directors. And she may have had a strong sense of déjà vu – because she had created a similar organization just a few years before. In 1931, after helping finance the local theater, meeting rooms, and an art gallery in East Hampton, N.Y., Mary Woodhouse founded Guild Hall, donating land opposite the library for the cultural institution and endowing a $100,000 building fund to get the project in motion. “Art as essential to a functioning democracy is encoded in the founding of Guild Hall, which against all odds opened its doors during the Great Depression, in 1931” writes Guild Hall executive director Andrea Grover in the essay “An Arts Town Hall” inside Guild Hall for All, written to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the institution in 2021. (Guild Hall for All will be available for purchase at the customer service desk in the Esther B. O’Keeffe Building during the February 10 through April 28 run of Guild Hall: An Adventure in the Arts. For more on the exhibition, see Page 8).

Mrs. Lorenzo E. (Mary) Woodhouse helped found Guild Hall in East Hampton and The Society of the Four Arts. She was The Four Arts first Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Four Arts co-founder Mrs. Frederick (Mary Mackinnon) Johnson, right, talks with with Mr. Hugh Dillman, left, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Gunster.

Grover writes, “Its stated purpose, still written in gilded letters above the entrance, is to present cultural events, but perhaps more important, to encourage both ‘a taste for the arts’ and ‘a finer type of citizenship’. Why did the founder, Mary Woodhouse, believe in the power of the arts to unite people? Was Mary’s intention to ignite a local effort to sustain a creative community, or was it to provide a venue for diverting and enriching activities for her fellow gentry?”

Purpose of Guild Hall written above its entrance

Similar questions may have been asked in Palm Beach. In the first annual report of The Society of the Four Arts, the goal was to one day “establish a Temple of the Fine Arts – which will house its own galleries, its halls of music, letters, and drama with attendance libraries, forums, theatres, and chairs of instruction.” The Society first met and displayed art exhibitions inside a vacant store owned by Colonel Bradley (now the site of the John E. Rovensky building). Money was raised to buy land and erect a Four Arts building designed by Maurice Fatio (now the Gioconda and Joseph King Library), and the Four Arts moved in on January 8, 1938. The building originally supported art exhibits, poetry readings, lectures, and musical events.

The Society of the Four Arts building in the 1930s. It is now the Four Arts Gioconda and Joseph King Library.

Guild Hall, designed by eminent architect Aymar Embury II, featured a theater, garden, and two salons that served as rotating exhibition space as well as hosting clubs and socials. It became one of the first multidisciplinary arts centers in the country, featuring art, music, theater, and education programs. The organization is blessed to pull from abundant artistic talent locally and from New York City. “There is a sizable difference between encyclopedic arts institutions and Guild Hall, a community-based cultural center,” Grover writes. “Yet our intimate stage and galleries have hosted a Who’s Who of American art and theater history, and it has often been those artists and performers themselves who have planned and implemented our programming. Countless accomplished artists, writers, and actors have dedicated themselves to Guild Hall.” Meanwhile in Palm Beach, The Society of the Four Arts has been blessed with extraordinary

Highlights form An Adventure in the Arts Guild Hall: An Adventure in the Arts presents selections from the collection of Guild Hall (East Hampton), one of the country’s first centers to combine an art museum, theater, and education program. Established in 1931 by Mary Woodhouse (also a co-founder of The Society of the Four Arts), Guild Hall has become the cultural heart of the East End through its core principle that participation in the arts creates greater civic engagement. For more information on Guild Hall, go to guildhall.org. While Guild Hall is undertaking a facilitywide Capital Improvements Project, it is sharing its collection, which comprises over 2,400 works by internationally renowned 20th and 21st-century artists. An Adventure in the Arts features 72 works by 59 artists, including George Bellows, Lynda Benglis, Chuck Close, Jane Freilicher, Adolph Gottlieb, Jasper Johns, Thomas Moran, Robert Motherwell, and Jackson Pollock, and Robert Rauschenberg. Many lived and worked in the East End, highlighting the tradition of artists in residence since the 1870s. The exhibition is accompanied by the publication Guild Hall For All (2021), which was published in celebration of the institution’s 90th anniversary.

Rovensky Building, and the Fitz Eugene Dixon Education Building, comprising over 10 acres. The Four Arts annually offers a dynamic lineup of cultural programming, including art exhibitions, notable speakers, concerts, films, and educational programs, in addition to being home to beautiful gardens and two libraries open year-round. Guild Hall has been undergoing a capital campaign project to bring its 1930s-era building into the future, with structural and technological upgrades to the grounds and building encompassing its museum, theater, education center, and administrative offices. Construction began in summer 2022, with the galleries, grounds, classroom, and offices reopening in July 2023. The completion of the renovated theater is expected by July of this year.

The Society of the Four Arts also has renovated its 1930s-era building, reopening the King Library in 2018, and plans to continue renovating its campus. One final similarity in the organizations brought to life by Mary Woodhouse in the 1930s? Read these statements on their websites, harkening back to the initial aspirations of the founders. “The Four Arts believes that the passion of music, the beauty of art, the thrill of drama, and the pleasure of literature bridge the gap from mere existence to truly living. It is our mission to share the four arts with everyone.” “Guild Hall is the cultural heart of the East End: a museum, performing arts, and education center, founded in 1931. We invite everyone to experience the endless possibilities of the arts: to open minds to what art can be; inspire creativity and conversation; and have fun.” fourarts.org | Winter-Spring 2024 Folio

Celebrate the beauty and biodiversity of flowers in photographs by acclaimed artists in the exhibition Flora Imaginaria. This bouquet of floral imagery is on display in the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden, providing a unique experience with art in the context of nature. Flowers have been a source of inspiration for photographers since the medium’s inception. Today, flower photography remains in full bloom as contemporary photographers continue the tradition of depicting floral motifs in novel ways.

Abelardo Morell, 2016 - Flowers for Lisa #30, 2016.

Flora Imaginaria features images shot over the last 30 years and is an ode to this historically important photographic subject. It explores the aesthetic and decorative qualities of flowers and their rich cultural history as symbols and motifs, with still lifes, botanical studies, portraits, studies of the body, street photography, and surrealist collages.

The Escher String Quartet is at the forefront of American string quartet playing for their mix of profound musical insight and rare tonal beauty. The group’s M.C. Escher-inspired philosophy of balancing individual components with a cohesive whole comes to life in an evening of Classical and 20th Century Quartets. Haydn’s “Lark” soars with appealing melodies and fluttering figures; Janáček’s String Quartet No. 2 conjures the intimate side of string playing; and Ravel’s glorious Quartet in F major traverses the full range of human emotion from introspection to exuberance.

Back by popular demand following their inspiring 2022 performance at The Four Arts, the unparalleled dancers from “Fred Astaire West Palm Beach” provide a glimpse of the elegant, exciting, and dynamic world of Ballroom and Latin dancing. This program will make you dream about the Waltz, want to try out the Tango, fancy a Foxtrot, and get excited about so many other dances. Be enticed and experience a wonder of sparkles and flourishing moves during this enchanting evening. fourarts.org | Winter-Spring 2024 Folio

Listen to the ‘Revisited’ Podcasts Four Arts series takes contemporary look at previous lectures During the 2021-22 season, The Society of the Four Arts introduced its “Revisited” podcast series. Archived Esther B. O’Keeffe Speakers Series lectures were reviewed by Chief Programs Officer Sofia Vollmer Maduro and guest(s) in a 20-to 25-minute audio interview with an informal format, revisiting each lecture in a contemporary light. As the third season of “Revisited” drops this winter — all episodes can be found at fourarts.org — the Four Arts interviewed Maduro to discuss the series so far and what listeners can expect this season. Four Arts: What was the inspiration for starting the Four Arts Revisited podcast series? Sofia Vollmer Maduro: When we shut down briefly due to Covid, our activities shifted to online and digital programming. With the help of our Director of Staging & Technical Servies, Phillip Barnes, we discovered we had several archived Esther B. O’Keeffe Speakers Series lectures recorded, but some were just audio recordings. We wondered how we could make use of this wonderful treasure trove of content, and the idea of podcasts came up because that is the way a number of the younger generation receive their information. So, we came up with the idea of revisiting these lectures — hence the name. As we listened to the lectures, we thought about the topic and about who could be a Sofia Vollmer Maduro contemporary guest we could interview to discuss the relevancy of the talk. It’s been real fun doing them. I’m the host for the series and we are happy to have done 10 episodes already, and now beginning in January 2024 we will be releasing new episodes. FA: What are this season’s upcoming podcasts? When will they be available? SVM: This season we’re coming out with one on Egypt. I interviewed Kent Weeks and Peter Lacovara, while they were here lecturing last year, and we have timed this podcast to come out now given that the theme around the Four Arts galas is Egypt. The following podcast will be revisiting a Julian Fellowes lecture given here at the Four Arts in 1994 on the English county home. I invited Emma, Duchess of Rutland, while she was in Palm Beach recently, to record the podcast episode. There are others in the pipeline — Marlene Strauss, who has given many lectures on fine arts here, may revisit one of her own lectures — and others you will find online when you go to the Four Arts podcasts.

Kent Weeks and Peter Lacovara

FA: Where can I listen to Revisited podcasts? Who helps produce and distribute them? SVM: We have been lucky to find local talent right here in Palm Beach to help with the podcasts. Kent Anderson’s company, Kilo Content, has been producing them. I think these podcasts are exciting — maybe you didn’t belong to the Four Arts at the time of the lecture, or you weren’t here for the lecture, or even if you

16 Winter-Spring 2024 Folio | fourarts.org

did hear the lecture, now you can go down memory lane with a new take on it. The easiest way to find the podcasts is to select the “Watch Online” tab at fourarts.org and then select “Podcasts” in the drop-down menu. Each podcast is about 20 to 25 minutes. They are also available directly on SoundCloud, where you can search for “Four Arts Revisited”, or even just google “Four Arts Podcasts”. FA: Talk about the first two seasons of Revisited, some of the speakers and topics. SVM: We’ve tried to cover history, conservation, and the arts, among a variety of topics. In the first season we discussed Prince Philip and the World Wildlife Fund. We revisited a Julian Fellowes lecture here about the Gilded Age just as his HBO’s show was beginning. We did an episode with Four Arts President and CEO Dr. Philip Rylands where we revisited a Rosamund Bernier lecture — she really reinvented the fine arts lecture, she turned it into a kind of spectacle, brought it out of the ivory tower of academia and made it into something everyone could enjoy. For several decades she spoke at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and The Four Arts would invite her back year after year too. We have had Hugo Vickers talking about King Charles’

coronation, and Mark Plotkin revisiting his own lecture which was fun. Cellist David Finckel, a 9-time Grammy award winner for classical music and a longtime friend of composer André Previn was my guest for the Revisited on a Previn lecture. Mario Buatta spoke here at the Four Arts several times and was a much-loved, entertaining speaker, and so many homes in Palm Beach were decorated by him. We were lucky to get Ann and Charles Johnson and Hilary Ross to talk about him, so we did two Buatta episodes because there was so much material. FA: What do you hope listeners get out of following the Four Arts Revisited podcast series? SVM: I hope to highlight that there have been an amazing selection of people who have spoken at the Four Arts in the past, and how visionary some of these people speaking 20 or 30 years ago were at the time. I think there’s a certain relevancy that comes from listening to them years later and having a more contemporary take on these topics, which makes for an interesting podcast. The way people acquire information is shifting in the digital age. Everyone — Four Arts members, patrons, the public — can listen to these podcasts. What I’m hoping to do is to broaden your experience, you can listen to this condensed format and acquire information in a digital format.

FLORIDA VOICES This book discussion series engages in dialog with celebrated Florida authors. Each program features a presentation by the author, a Q&A, and a book signing.

Take A Road Trip Into Florida’s Past By James Clark Special to The Four Arts

Are you BD or AD? If you remember coming to Florida as a child and stopping at a roadside stand to see alligators, you are BD. If you asked your parents to buy you a baby alligator, you are BD.

James Clark Lost Attractions of Florida Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. No charge Reservations required Dixon Education Building

If you drove down to Florida on highways 1, 301, 41, or 17, you are BD. If you flew down on a plane with propellers on an airline called National or Eastern, you are BD. If you made it all the way to Miami and stayed at the New Yorker Hotel, the Everglades Hotel, or the Deauville Hotel, you are BD. If you stopped in Palm Beach and stayed at the Dixie Court, or dined at Petite Marmite, you are definitely BD. BD is the nickname for those who came Before Disney. AD is for those who came after Disney World opened in 1971. Lost Attractions tells the story of Florida before the superhighways and theme parks, the huge cruise ships, and an unprecedented building boom. The days seemed so long ago when families waited in line to go to the top of the 226-foot Citrus Tower in Clermont or ate the twocent breakfast at the sprawling Webb City store in St. Petersburg. Maybe you watched one of the high-noon shootouts at one of the western theme parks, such as Six

Gun Territory or Pioneer City. And there were the alligators; nearly two dozen attractions featured men or women putting their heads into the mouth of an alligator or gators jumping for food. Some roadside attractions sold baby gators, giving rise to the myth of gators in the sewers of New York City. The myth is so enduring that a 1,320-pound statue of an alligator curled around a manhole cover is in the New York’s Union Square. The state’s first attractions were the springs in the early 1800s.

People came to Florida to recover from many ailments despite scant medical evidence that Florida and its waters provided a cure. By the 1870s, steamboats carried visitors to the clear waters of Silver Springs. At the same time, ostrich attractions opened featuring jockeys racing the irascible ostriches. Trained bears performed in downtown Jacksonville and Henry Flagler opened luxury resorts in St. Augustine, Ormond Beach, Palm Beach, and Miami.

Andrea Taylor Three Women & An Architect: Maurice Fatio

Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. No charge ■ Reservations required Dixon Education Building Learn about pivotal roles played by three women in famed Swiss-born architect Maurice Fatio’s life: his mother Marguerite, his wife Eleanor, and his daughter Alexandra.

Andrea Taylor, Fatio’s granddaughter, examines how they inspired his Palm Beach landmarks.

Tracey Enerson Wood The President’s Wife

Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. No charge ■ Reservations required King Library

Then came the gardens. The most popular was Cypress Gardens, where models wore antebellum gowns and strolled amid the flowers. Water skiing was added, and it became one of the nation’s three most popular attractions, along with Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon. Walt Disney changed everything in 1963 when he chose Orlando as the site for an East Coast attraction. At first, other attractions welcomed Disney, believing it would draw more tourists to the state and help everyone. But as Disney expanded — adding EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, water attractions, and Hollywood Studios — the attendance of other attractions dropped. Cypress Gardens hung on until 2009. Lost Attractions takes a step back in time to when tourists rolled down their car windows to catch a breeze and waited in line for a ride in a glass-bottom boat.

Playwright, screenwriter, and novelist Tracey Enerson Wood discusses her newest novel about Edith Bolling Wilson, who some consider to be the first female president. She contends with the demands of a tumultuous country, the secrets of her husband’s poor health, and the potentially devastating consequences of her failure in this astonishing portrait of a courageous First Lady and the sacrifices she made to protect her husband.

Diane Bergner Royal Coconut Beach Lunch Club: A Novel Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. No charge ■ Reservations required King Library

Take a look inside the world of high society fundraising and philanthropy. Debut author Diane Bergner will discuss how her own experiences inspired her to write fiction.

Bergner is the Chief Development Officer at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach.

Florida Voices is generously supported by the Fred J. Brotherton Endowment for Literature, established at The Four Arts by the Fred J. Brotherton Charitable Foundation. Fred Brotherton, who died in 2003, was for many years a Benefactor of The Four Arts and a strong supporter of its programs.
