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. "The Artists of Brown County" is the first book to document the history of this remarkable art colony.Following an introduction to 'Peaceful Valley,' as the area was affectionately called, individual chapters are devoted to sixteen 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. An additional chapter tells about twelve other artists who either visited or lived in the county for a time. Accompanying the biographical sketches is a selection of eighty-two color reproductions of the artists' works. Photographs of the scenery, the artists, and the rural residents of Brown County by Frank Hohenberger add a documentary dimension. Rachel Perry's introduction places the Brown County art colony within the broader context of American regional art.
