"Brown County Winter Creek" 16" x 20" oil on board, signed lower right. Recent carved frame. The following biography is from the fineestateart.com website: Carl Christopher Graf was born Sept. 24, 1892, in Bedford, Indiana. Earning money by painting murals at Bedford High School and as a cartoonist for the Bedford Daily Democrat newspaper, Graf saved enough to enroll at the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis. He spent seven years there, studying portraiture and sculpture. He took a great deal of instruction from William Forsyth. With his teacher’s approval, he was able to assist in painting a mural in the children’s wing at the City Hospital. After Herron, Graf headed east to continue his art studies, first to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts In Philadelphia, and then on New York City at the Art Students League. On his way back to Indianapolis, he attended yet another fine school, the Cincinnati Academy of Art. Upon his return, he reopened his studio in the Banker’s Trust Bldg. in Indianapolis, where he had worked at his art while a student at Herron. A painter of brightly colored still lifes and landscapes, he won several major awards. He was also a teacher and accomplished sculptor. After many trips to Brown County to paint landscapes of the rolling hills and flowers, Graf built a home, studio and frame shop in Nashville in 1925. Befriending other artists was easy for the amiable and lanky, 6’6" Carl. Making it easier, his friend V. J. Cariani, his classmate in New York, now lived there. He married Genevieve Goth, sister of portrait painter Marie Goth, and taught her painting, at which she soon excelled in her own right. One year later, in 1926, Graf helped form and was the first president of the Brown County Art Gallery Association. Carl Graf died Jan. 28, 1947 in Indianapolis, due to complications from influenza. He was just 54. His wife Genevieve passed away on Dec. 21, 1961, in Franklin, Indiana. To see this biography on our site, visit: https://fineestateart.com/artists/carl_c_graf

Authentication Certificate included from Brown County Art Guild, Inc. 1982. Eckert gallery. Biography from Massillon Museum: Best known as a landscape artist who became a significant member of the second generation of Brown County artists, Carl Graf's formal artistic training focused on portraiture and sculpture. Born in Bedford, Indiana, in 1892, Graf remained there until leaving his post as cartoonist at the local daily paper for seven years of studies at the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis, where he studied with William Forsyth. Graf assisted Forsyth on the creation of a mural for the children's wing at the City Hospital in Indianapolis. He completed his artistic educational experience with studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, the Art Students League and the Cincinnati Art Academy. He returned to Indianapolis and his studio from his schooldays. Fellow artist T.C. Steele invited him to paint the landscape in Brown County, Indiana, and after pitching his tent on many painting trips, Graf eventually settled there. He found fellowship with the other artists working in the art colony. In 1925, Graf built a home and studio in Brown County and soon became an integral member of its artistic community. He helped found the Brown County Art Gallery Association and served as the organization's first president in 1926. Graf married another artist, Genevieve Goth, and together they left their mark on the Brown County art community.
