  • Richard Stone Reeves Archive MC0064
    Archives & Manuscript Collections National Sporting Library Middleburg, VA Richard Stone Reeves Archive MC0064 Name: Reeves, Richard Stone, 1919-2005 Materials: Correspondence, Photographs, Transparencies, Newspaper Clippings, Magazines, Documents, Scrapbooks, Photo Album, Book, Programs, Art Tools Dates: 1931-2005 Usage: Unless otherwise stated by NSL staff, these records are open for research without restrictions. Biographical Note Richard Stone Reeves was a prolific equine artist, painting portraits of approximately 1,000 race horses over the course of his long career. He was born in New York City in 1919 and was raised on Long Island, close to Belmont Park where he enjoyed spending time in his youth. From an early age, Reeves knew he wanted to combine his love for art with his interest in horses and racing. He attended Syracuse University and graduated in 1941 with a degree in Fine Arts. Soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Reeves enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He spent his first two years in the Navy working in the Bureau of Aeronautics in Washington and then volunteered for a combat mission in China where he spent 1944 and 1945. A chance meeting with Lt. Commander Robert G. Johnson in China would give Reeves the start to his career as an equine painter. Johnson happened to be the president of Roosevelt Raceway on Long Island and admired the sketches and paintings Reeves created in his free time. He learned that Reeves’ ambition was to paint racehorses, and after the war was over, Johnson commissioned Reeves to portray six champion horses for the Roosevelt Raceway. Reeves was then commissioned by the Daily Racing Form to paint Armed, the 1947 Horse of the Year.
