Own a Piece of Brown County Art History, The Shultz’s at The Venue.

06:00 pm to 07:00 pm
The Venue Fine Art & Gifts
http://www.thevenuebloomington.com

For the month of June The Venue is pleased to feature a painting by Adolf Shultz and a painting by Alberta Shultz.
Adolf Shultz (1869-1963) is well known as the founder and “Dean” of the Brown County art community.
Shultz studied at the Art Institute of Chicago before heading to the Art Students League of New York to study with William Merritt Chase and Henry Siddons Mowbray. He later traveled to Paris for further study at the Academie Julian and Colorossi under LeFebvre, Constant and Laurens. After maintaining a studio in Germany, Shultz moved permanently to Brown County to pursue his passion, landscape painting. He founded the Brown County Art Association, which attracted some of the finest American landscape painters to his art colony in Nashville, Indiana.
Shultz’s landscapes feature a soft, delicate palette and expressive, painterly brushwork and have been met with great critical acclaim. Enjoying an active market, his paintings are highly prized, selling for prices as high as $25,000.00. The piece on display is typical of the style of his smaller paintings, and is being offered at a very attractive price.
Alberta Shultz (1892-1980) was the second wife of Adolf. She was an Indianapolis native, who studied art at Indiana University, Butler University, the University of Texas, the John Herron Art Institute and the Ringling School of Art.
Alberta spent a summer in Nashville, Indiana, painting with her good friend, artist Marie Goth. There she became a student of Adolf, and they later married. Alberta was known for her broken palette, impressionistic landscapes of Brown County, paintings that look very similar to those of Adolph. Alberta was always conscious of her debt to her husband’s instruction. As Alberta said herself, “I owe my painting skill to [Adolph]. I could never have accomplished what I have had it not been for his help and encouragement.”
Alberta’s painting offered for sale may be an example of the student transcending her teacher. It is representative of her own style, and obviously shows the influence of her mentor. It benefits from a hand-carved Brown County gilded frame. It too is priced to sell.
The Venue is pleased to offer these collectable painting to Bloomington.
