John Hardrick was one of Indianapolis’ most successful African American artists. He was from meager means but showed early promise with his art skills.
He eventually came to the attention of Herman Lieber who assisted in getting him enrolled in childrens classes at the Herron Art Institute.
He later attended Manual High School and studied under Otto Stark and then returned to Herron in 1910.
His works tend to be very colorful and lively. Works lacking signatures are not uncommon.
