Hoosier Group of Impressionists
Named in the 1890s by a Chicago writer, the Hoosier Group
artists each sought training abroad and eventually settled in Indiana,
painting primarily the local landscape and other places their vacation
travels brought them. Often working together, they developed a style
based on both loose, textural paint applications and harmonious colors.
Like most artists, they spent a great deal of time examining the works
of art around them. Over time, these influences were pondered, digested,
and synthesized into the roughly "impressionistic" style associated with
the group. John Ottis Adams, William Forsyth, Theodore Clement Steele,
and Otto Stark are among the artists included in the museum's collection.
