| 515. Adolph R. Shulz (American, 1869-1963), “Portrait of Ernest Cawkins”, c.1918; oil/canvas, 13" x 14", signed. Shulz was born in Delavan, WI. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, Art Students League (with Chase), and in Paris. He returned to Delavan in the summers to paint. Shulz, although widely known for his landscapes, was trained as a portrait painter, and this work clearly reveals his talent as that. Adolph began to make trips to Nashville, IN around 1900, and the family eventually moved there permanently in 1917. Adolph was generally considered to be the “father” of the Brown County colony. He exhibited at the Hoosier Salon from 1925-1942. He also exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, Milwaukee Art Institute, and the Brown County Gallery Association. 4000-6000 |
