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. This painting was reproduced and printed in the April 12, 1948 edition of Life magazine, which in turn gained Reeves national recognition and sparked his career. By 1958, he had become known internationally by horse racing enthusiasts and was travelling abroad on commissions.
During his career, Reeves painted top horses in the U.S. and around the world, including seven Triple Crown winners. His portraits were done in oil on canvas in neo-romantic style, capturing the sleek, muscular build of the horse against an impressionistic, pastoral background. Most of Reeves’ work hangs in private collections, but his paintings can also be found at most major tracks and at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, NY. In 2000, Reeves donated one of his paintings, Montpelier, Schooling, to the National Sporting Library & Museum where it hangs on display. Eight books have been published on Reeves’ work, and reproductions of his paintings have appeared in other publications, as well. Reeves died in 2005 in Greenport, NY.
