611. Ada Walter Shulz (American, 1870-1928), "Nashville Street", c.1926; oil/board, 12" x 8", unsigned with provenance. Shulz began her studies at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1889, under John Vanderpoel. She traveled with Vanderpoel's class in the summer of 1892 to Delavan, Wisconsin, where she met her future husband, Adolph Shulz. In 1894, the two were married, and remained in Delavan for the next twenty years, although they began summering in Brown County, Indiana in the 1910s. They moved there permanently in 1917. Adolph specialized in landscape painting, and Ada chose the mothers and children of Brown County as her subjects. She favored painting outdoors, in bright sunlight, and her lush, expressive portraits of children reveal a tremendous sensitivity to the warmth and light of the Indiana summer. Provenance: Estate of the Artist to Lockhart Gallery, Indianapolis (a well-known representative of the artist's estate) to the present owner. 7000-9000
