Paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, and historic objects reflecting the world of wild and domestic animals, native plants, and the history of the Brookgreen property comprise the inaugural exhibit in the Brenda and Dick Rosen Galleries.  The works are drawn from the collection of Brookgreen Gardens and works on loan from renowned artist Sandy Scott and the Kaminski House Museum.  Among the artworks in the exhibit are those by and attributed to 18th and 19th century luminaries Washington Allston, William Curtis, John Gould, George Whiting Flagg, and Rosa Bonheur. Great illustrators and intaglio printmakers in the field of sporting art are included such as A. B. Frost, Churchill Ettinger, Richard Bishop, Reinhold Palenske, William Schaldach, and Hans Kleiber.  Artists who focused on dogs and horses as subjects – Marguerite Kirmse, Diana Thorne, and Marilyn Newmark – are in the exhibit.  A list of notables in contemporary animal art include John Seerey-Lester, Bob Kuhn, Heiner Hertling, Sandy Scott, Walter Matia, and Bart Walter, to name a few.  Lastly, 18th and 19th century stories of Laurel Hill, Springfield, Brookgreen, and The Oaks are told through fine art, decorative arts, and material culture from the Allston, Alston, Flagg, Jordan, Ward, and Weston families.
