William Forsyth (American/Indiana, 1854-1935), 'Campfire by the Creek', oil on board, signed lower right, signed, inscribed and dated '1921' en verso, 28 in. x 23.5in. Provenance: Family of the artist. Note: In 1906, famed Hoosier Group artist and teacher, William Forsyth moved his family to a larger rambling home in Irvington, a town just outside of Indianapolis. Pleasant Run Creek and the hilly wooded countryside of Irvington became an endless source of inspiration. The most diverse of the Hoosier Group artists, William Forsyth combined the various aesthetics of modernism and impressionism in this painting of a small campfire ablaze along the banks of Pleasant Run Creek.
