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.

"BROWN COUNTY FOLKS... a mingling of rustics and locals." The 225-page, 7.75"x10.75" softcover book features portraits and interviews of Brown County residents relating stories of their lives in this most unique county, as well as numerous, colorful landscape photos of the counties' famous fall leaves."A mingling of rustics (locals) and artists," as Steve Miller puts it-farmers, artisans, tourists, migrants, retirees, campers, transplants from here and there, shop owners, doctors, lawyers, musicians, entertainers, hermits and recluses, students... every manner of life separated only by the oaks, hickories, poplars, beeches, and white pines populating the hills and dales in which everyone lives. Indebted we are to the likes of Frank Hohenberger, who first photographed and documented the lives of the people of Brown County in the early 1900s. What an extraordinary collection of images he made. Images that if you spend just a few moments with will quietly whisper story after story of the lives of these people. We hope the images in this book may do likewise. Rick Albertson, a retired documentary photographer, covered world-wide assignments for large non-profit organizations. Having lived in several states while growing up, he attended Indiana University in Blooming- ton-the longest he'd ever lived in one place. It was then that his interest in photography blossomed, and he met his wife and they began a family there. The essence of Rick was formed during this time, augment- ed by frequent visits to every corner of Brown County-the one place he thinks of to this day as his Home. Dr. Robert E. Sexton, a resident of Brown County, lives in a two bed- room log cabin on thirty-three acres of beautiful forested rolling hills. Bob is a passionate collector of early Indiana art, specifically from the Brown County Art Colony movement. He has focused on collecting all of the woodblock prints and gouache's featuring Brown County by the world-renowned woodblock printer, Gustave Baumann.
