Brown County, Indiana

Some resources on the Brown County artists. Tony is referenced in the "other" artists that arrived in Brown County later.

In an e-mail dated October 2006, Lyn Letsinger-Miller wrote: "He showed in lots of Brown County Art gallery shows, as well as the Hoosier Salon, but he was in the later group of artists to come here, and they haven't earned as much attention as the first wave of artists. He is still highly collectible and comes up routinely at auction."




The Artists of Brown County, 1994
By Lyn Letsinger-Miller

Product Description
From the early 1900s through the 1940s, the scenic hill country of Brown County, Indiana, was home to a flourishing colony of artists who migrated there from urban areas of the Midwest. Now back in print, The Artists of Brown County, first published in 1994, is the classic book on the history of this remarkable art colony.
Following an introduction to "Peaceful Valley," as the area was affectionately called, chapters are devoted to 16 of the artists, including three couples: T. C. Steele, Will Vawter, Gustave Baumann, Dale Bessire, the photographer Frank M. Hohenberger, Adolph Shulz and Ada Walter Shulz, L. O. Griffith, V. J. Cariani and Marie Goth, Carl C. Graf and Genevieve Goth Graf, Edward K. Williams, Georges LaChance, C. Curry Bohm, and Glen Cooper Henshaw. Lavish color reproductions of the artists' work accompany the biographical sketches. Rachel Berenson Perry's introduction places the Brown County art colony within the broader context of American regional art.
