About the Book
This catalogue documents the latest Bert Gallery exhibit on Florence Leif, "Becoming Modern," and also presents a sampling of her work over a thirty-four year career.
Florence Leif graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1934 and married fellow painter Gordon Peers, a successful RISD professor. Her career as a painter came to an end when a brain tumor took her life in 1968 at the age of 55. Bert Gallery has worked with the estate of this artist for the past ten years, cataloguing and exhibiting her works. A survey exhibit was held in the gallery in 2003. This latest exhibit further investigates the significant talent of Florence Leif, and her uncompromising artistic vision.
