Cummer Oak

"Did Stephen Malkoff choose trees as the subject of his artistic talent, or did the trees choose Stephen?"  — Maarten van de Guchte, former Director of the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens. This elegant oak graces the Italian gardens as a focal point of one of Florida's museums of art. The tree shares its view with near the banks of the St. Johns River.

Commissioned by a small group of benefactors, the original of Malkoff's now hangs in a prominent place in this legendary museum of fine art. The Cummer is also the site of Malkoff's first formal exhibition of his special art.
