"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.
C. 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.
