Hoosier Light: The Impressionists of Indiana
August 21 - October 17, 1999
On Friday, August 20, 1999 the Greater
Lafayette Museum of Art will unveil Hoosier Light: The Impressionists
of Indiana. The opening, from 7 to 9 p.m., is open free of charge to
Museum members and the general public and will feature music and refreshments.
Hoosier Light: The Impressionists of Indiana features twenty-six works by many of the best known names in historic
Indiana art: John
Ottis Adams, Adam Emery Albright, George
Ames Aldrich, 
Gustave Baumann, John Elwood Bundy,
William Merritt
Chase, Frank
Dudley, Maude Eggemeyer, William
Forsyth, Richard
B. Gruelle, Lucie Hartrath, William
Edouard Scott, Ada Shulz, Adolph Shulz, Otto
Stark, Theodore
Clement Steele, Will
Vawter and Edward K.
Williams. With only eight works borrowed from public institutions
throughout Indiana, the remaining eighteen are drawn from private collections
in Greater Lafayette that provide the opportunity to see paintings not often
available to the general public. (right above: T. C. Steele, Ladies

The exhibition, and its accompanying catalogue, will show
how artists from Indiana worked at home and abroad, what influenced them,
how they banded together in mutual support and how they resolved to paint
new visions of their home state. It will also include artists who came from
elsewhere to call Indiana their artistic home, establishing reputations
that have forever linked them to the Hoosier state. Hoosier Light,
on view through October 17, is made possible by the generous support of
Bennett, Boehning and Clary, Haan Crafts Corporation, and Lafayette Bank
and Trust.
The Greater Lafayette Museum of Art is open with free admission
Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A free parking lot is available
at its 10th Street entrance.
