Born in 1891, Florence Brillinger was from Emigsville, PA, a small town outside of York, PA, where she graduated from high school in 1910. After she completed a course in designing at the Academy of Design in Philadelphia, Florence was employed as a designer at the Rudy Brothers’ art glass works where she likely she met her future husband, artist Fritz (Frederick) Pfeiffer. The two were married in 1914. From there, little information exists regarding Florence. We know she and her husband traveled extensively through Europe in the 20’s and into the 30’s. They had a child in 1926. Florence exhibited at the Guggenheim in the early 40’s and was an active member of the American Artists’ Congress, the organization which brought Picasso’s “Guernica” to New York in 1949. She exhibited at the Provincetown Art Association throughout the 20’s and 30’s, and while we know she was still married to Fritz in 1942, the artists apparently worked in separate cities at that time, Fritz in Detroit and Florence in New York. The last known mention of Florence is from 1946 in an article relating to the York Art Club’s Fall exhibition; in it, the Pfeiffer name has been omitted. Florence died in 1984.
