Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Curry Bohm was a talented and highly regarded landscape artist who is most commonly associated with Brown County, Indiana. Most consider him a leader of the second generation of Brown County painters. However, Curry's career and success expanded well beyond the borders of Brown County. The artist was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1894. Much of his artistic training was received in Chicago. The Illinois metropolis served as an important focus for his career development and an outlet for exhibitions until the 1950s. Curry permanently moved to Brown County in 1930. Many of his works during the first half of his career portrayed landscapes painted in the Smoky Mountains of Eastern Tennessee. Later, harbor and marine landscapes painted along coastal sites in Massachusetts and Maine provided new challenges and satisfaction for him over the second half of his career. Curry garnered success in all these artistic arenas. He won major awards at the Chicago Palette & Club in the early 1930s. He was awarded multiple exhibition prizes in East Coast shows during the 1950s. His Smoky Mountain and East Coast landscapes were major painting subjects for his showing in the Indiana Hoosier Salon exhibitions, from 1929-1967, where he won over twenty-five awards, including two Best in Show Awards. Curry Bohm, thus, became one of the leading painters in the Indiana arts community during the 20th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of the artist and first African American man to become a professional conservator for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Felrath Hines was born in 1913 and raised in the segregated Midwest after his parents left the South to find a better life in Indianapolis. While growing up, he was encouraged by his seamstress mother to pursue his early passion for art by taking Saturday classes at Herron Art Institute. In 1937, he moved to Chicago, where he attended the Art Institute of Chicago in hopes of making his dreams a reality. The Life and Art of Felrath Hines: From Dark to Light chronicles the life of this exceptional artist who overcame numerous obstacles throughout his career and refused to be pigeonholed because of his race. Rachel Berenson Perry tracks Hines’s determination and success as a contemporary artist on his own terms. She explores his life in New York City in the 1950s and ‘60s, where he created a close friendship with jazz musician Billy Strayhorn and participated in the African American Spiral Group of New York and the equal rights movement. Hines’s relationship with Georgia O’Keeffe, as her private paintings restorer, and a lifetime of creating increasingly esteemed Modernist artwork, are part of the story of one man’s remarkable journey in twentieth-century America. Featuring exquisite color photographs, The Life and Art of Felrath Hines explores his life, work, and significance as an artist and as an art conservator.

Book excerpt: In the 1920s, drawn by spectacular vistas and colorful fall foliage, photojournalist Frank Hohenberger (1876-1962) traveled to the hills of Brown County. Once there, he found more to photograph than just a picturesque landscape and he set out to record the lives of the people who lived among the hills. If You Don't Outdie Me is a brilliantly revealing volume about Hohenberger's encounter with the people of Brown County. Rather than a society of amusing and peaceful rustics, Hohenberger discovered that there were "tragedies in the valleys" and rancorous complexities that belied sentimental notions about small town life. Reproduced here are Hohenberger's incomparable photographs, not only the carefully crafted "art prints," but also the casual snapshots that show him to have been one of the pioneers of ethnographic photography. The book includes Hohenberger's previously unpublished diary notes, which record the humor, gossip, legends, oral history, figures of speech, and proverbs of the Brown County folk, as well as his astute and unguarded observations.

Book excerpt: In 1876, Congress issued a joint resolution recommending the preparation of local histories of every town and county for preservation in the Library of Congress. The W. H. Beers & Co. publishing house was a prolific producer of such histories. From the original 1883 publication, which ran over 1,000 pages, Heritage Books, Inc. has already reprinted sections dealing with the specific histories of Brown County and each of its townships. This book presents Part V from the original volume, a collection of nearly 1,000 biographical sketches of prominent men in each of the Brown County townships. Many of the subjects were still alive at the time of the original publication, so the majority of the biographies focus on the mid- to late-1800s. The sketches vary in the amount of information given, but generally they include the names of the subject s parents with relevant information about family heritage and immigration to the United States, the names of his wife, their children, and his wife s parents. The subject s professional or occupational history is usually recounted as well as his educational attainments, and his social, religious, and political activities. A surname index has been added, in which such names as the following appear: Baird, Brown, Campbell, Cochran, Davis, Day, Devore, Dunn, Ellis, Evans, Jones, Marshall, Martin, Miller, Moore, Smith, Thompson, White, Wilson, and Young.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As far as I know, no one else has done such a book as this one giving the history of the whole of Brown County, so I did it myself with the help of Rhonda A. Dunn. I cover most of the happenings in Brown County for more than 220 years up until the present time. To do this I had to make the book into two parts, the older parts are from the 1800s and that section is called simply, THEN. The stories of what is in Brown County since that time but up to today, is simply called, NOW. Then when we added the new history center, we went to three parts for this book to keep it simple to keep the history together for easier handling and reading. Brown County has changed so much in 220 years that it is amazing. But most of what we are today is what we started from actually. I think you will find this to be true if you read the book in its entirety. Most of the early settlers were from the states of the Carolinas, Virginias, Ohio and Kentucky. Many of those people or their offspring are still here today but we are having an influx of what some call “furriners” today. People today come from the cities to visit, decide they like it here as much as we do and buy up a piece of land and build a log home and stay here. It takes all kinds to make a homogenous group. I think we have done our best to accomplish that. So, pull yourself up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or iced tea, and set a spell and read all about us in this first ever fairly complete history of Brown County. Ya’ll come back now, ya hear!!
