This painting was featured in our weekly email on 2/7/15 along with the following gallery comments:
William Forsyth’s stature in the history of Indiana art is well established – member of the Hoosier group and longtime instructor of art at Herron Art Institute, he influenced hundreds of artists in the first part of the twentieth century. A recent biography of Forsyth by Rachel Perry came out last year further underscoring his importance in the legacy of Hoosier art. This week’s painting of the moment, December, features an Irvington home (located 5119 East Pleasant Run Parkway South Drive, Indy, IN 46219, to be exact) reflects Forsyth’s view from his home studio, looking north. It’s housed in a hand-carved frame (almost certainly the work of the artist himself) and original to the piece. Original, save for the fact that some wingnut spray painted the frame white! We’ll be addressing this spray paint indiscretion this week and will show you the piece fully presented in the conserved frame next week. An evocative and classic example of Forsyth’s work.

Brown County Early Autumn Landscape |
 |
This painting was featured in our weekly email on 2/24/15 along with the following gallery comments:
Adolph Shulz and his artist wife, Ada Shulz began making trips to Brown County around 1900, drawn to the scenic hills and diffuse, hazy light. They were among the first artists to exploit Brown County’s natural beauty in paintings. They permanently relocated to Nashville in 1917. Brown County Early Autumn Landscape features a distant house and fence row and is a very nice example of Shulz’ representation of his beloved Brown County. The painting has been cleaned and conserved and is housed in an older, likely-original frame.

This painting was featured in our weekly email on 6/9/17 along with the following gallery comments:
Harry Allen Davis got his BFA from Herron, won the prestigious Prix de Rome, was a US Army camouflage artist and later, battlefield artist during WWII. And he returned to Herron where he taught for over forty years. His early works are somewhat modernist, figural pieces which appeared in the 1950s. He then had period of abstract landscapes such as the above. And ultimately, by the 1960s, his career was spent doing Seurat-ish architectural paintings. Lots and lots of large canvases concentrating on buildings and structures in Indianapolis and around Indiana. Today’s painting, Winter Woods (artist’s title) dates to 1958 and is from this abstract ‘middle period’ in Davis’ career. I love it as a document as much as a painting. It presents very nicely -- totally mid mod. |
