Brown County Indiana Artist C. Curry Bohm Palette Knife Landscape on Glass
Est: -
Brown County Indiana Artist C. Curry Bohm Palette Knife Landscape on Glass Claude (C.) Curry Bohm (1894-1971) Very colorful abstract landscape of mountains and a stream- all done on a glass panel and titled on back "Smoky Mtns." Signed by artist lower right. Painted in his palette knife style by this Brown County, Indiana artist. (Instead of using a brush, a palette knife is used creating thick textures). His Smoky Mountain landscapes were major painting subjects for his showing in the Indiana Hoosier Salon exhibitions, from 1929-1967, where he won over 25 awards. Born in Nashville, Tn., Bohm made his first trip to Brown County Indiana in 1920 returning yearly to paint until 1932 when he and his wife, Lillian, made Nashville, Indiana their permanent home. Glass is broken with a large crack running in the middle and a smaller piece that can be seen from the back but not the front. Painters tape applied to give it some rigidity. Frame has drips from overspray- not sure if this is original to the painting or not. In addition, there is some paint loss up top due to age. Nothing severe (see photo). The frame measures 40" by 28" with sight measurement being 35" by 23". This work was purchased from a Brown County resident in 2006 by our consignor. The last four photos show the back of the painting.

Est: $800 - $1,500
Claude Curry Bohm (1894 - 1971) Oil on Canvas, Signed, Measures ( x inches ) w/frame ( x inches ) C. Curry Bohm, a photographer, painter, and printmaker whose artistic career spanned five decades, was an integral part of the Chicago art scene in the 1920s and a very prominent part of the second generation of the Brown County, Indiana art colony from his first visit in 1920 until his death, serving as a charter member of the Brown County Art Gallery Association and helping to transform “Brown County into one of the nation’s outstanding art colonies.” The short, blonde-haired, gray-eyed Curry inherited some of his penchant for paints from his father Robert W. Bohm, a noted portrait, mural, and scenery painter whose family hailed from Louisiana where he was born in 1868 in New Orleans. Between 1886 and 1900, the elder Bohm was associated with Robert L. Struve as a stage set painter for New Orleans theatres such as the St. Charles Theatre and the Academy of Music and for musical venues in Mobile, Alabama.

C. Curry Bohm (1894-1971) 20" x 24" oil on canvas, Summer Landscape, signed lower left, with book. Recently conserved; original carved frame. The following biography is from the fineestateart.com website: Claude Curry Bohm was born on October 19, 1894, in Nashville, Tennessee. He grew up in New Orleans. His mother, Pauline, was an actress. His father, Robert, painted murals and helped design the New Orleans’ Mardi Gras Festival. His father died when he was a teenager and the family moved to Louisville. Bohm worked numerous jobs including a tour with a small circus along the Ohio River and a stint in a newspaper printshop. C. Curry Bohm studied at the National Academy with Edward F. Timmons. Shortly after marrying his wife Lillian he went to study at the Chicago Art Institute. After his studies, he worked as a printer and opened an art studio in Chicago. He became a member of the Chicago Painters and Sculptors Association, the Chicago Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts, the Hoosier Salon, the Brown County Art Gallery Association, the Indiana Artists’ Club, the Rockport Art Association and the North Shore Art Association, both in Massachusetts. He won numerous prizes including outstanding watercolor in the Indiana Artists’ Club in 1945, a gold medal in 1931 in the Palette and Chisel Academy, the Frederick M. Vance Memorial Award from the Brown County Art Gallery and several prizes in the Hoosier Salon. In 1940 he was selected to represent the State of Indiana in the Contemporary Art of the United States and exhibited at the San Francisco World’s Fair where he won a bronze medal for his snow scene ‘The Grey Blanket’. In 1920 the Bohms began making annual trips to Brown County’s Peaceful Valley in Nashville, Indiana. Bohm was a charter member of the Brown County Art Gallery Association in 1926 and he moved to Brown County permanently in 1932. Lillian stayed in Chicago another two years to provide money while Curry established himself in Nashville. When Lillian joined him they lived in a converted cow barn which they rented for $10 a month. Curry considered it lucky when he sold a painting of a barn on a farmhouse property on Greasy Creek, and later bought the place. When they moved to a home in Nashville in 1947, Bohm had the barn moved and reconstructed as a studio behind the house. Bohm taught small groups of students in summer and painted snow scenes in winter. In the fall he and Lillian went to Gloucester, Massachusetts, where Curry painted the seacoast. He also painted in Tennessee and later in Mexico. His landscapes were highly regarded on the East Coast as well as in Indiana and the snow scenes became his trademark. C. Curry Bohm died in Nashville, Indiana, at the age of 77 on November 18, 1971. You can see the bio on our site https://fineestateart.com/artists/c_curry_bohm

"Brown County Winter Landscape" 30" x 36" oil on canvas, signed lower right. Recently conserved; original carved frame. The following biography is from the fineestateart.com website: Claude Curry Bohm was born on October 19, 1894, in Nashville, Tennessee. He grew up in New Orleans. His mother, Pauline, was an actress. His father, Robert, painted murals and helped design the New Orleans’ Mardi Gras Festival. His father died when he was a teenager and the family moved to Louisville. Bohm worked numerous jobs including a tour with a small circus along the Ohio River and a stint in a newspaper printshop. C. Curry Bohm studied at the National Academy with Edward F. Timmons. Shortly after marrying his wife Lillian he went to study at the Chicago Art Institute. After his studies, he worked as a printer and opened an art studio in Chicago. He became a member of the Chicago Painters and Sculptors Association, the Chicago Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts, the Hoosier Salon, the Brown County Art Gallery Association, the Indiana Artists’ Club, the Rockport Art Association and the North Shore Art Association, both in Massachusetts. He won numerous prizes including outstanding watercolor in the Indiana Artists’ Club in 1945, a gold medal in 1931 in the Palette and Chisel Academy, the Frederick M. Vance Memorial Award from the Brown County Art Gallery and several prizes in the Hoosier Salon. In 1940 he was selected to represent the State of Indiana in the Contemporary Art of the United States and exhibited at the San Francisco World’s Fair where he won a bronze medal for his snow scene ‘The Grey Blanket’. In 1920 the Bohms began making annual trips to Brown County’s Peaceful Valley in Nashville, Indiana. Bohm was a charter member of the Brown County Art Gallery Association in 1926 and he moved to Brown County permanently in 1932. Lillian stayed in Chicago another two years to provide money while Curry established himself in Nashville. When Lillian joined him they lived in a converted cow barn which they rented for $10 a month. Curry considered it lucky when he sold a painting of a barn on a farmhouse property on Greasy Creek, and later bought the place. When they moved to a home in Nashville in 1947, Bohm had the barn moved and reconstructed as a studio behind the house. Bohm taught small groups of students in summer and painted snow scenes in winter. In the fall he and Lillian went to Gloucester, Massachusetts, where Curry painted the seacoast. He also painted in Tennessee and later in Mexico. His landscapes were highly regarded on the East Coast as well as in Indiana and the snow scenes became his trademark. C. Curry Bohm died in Nashville, Indiana, at the age of 77 on November 18, 1971. To see this biography on our site, visit: https://fineestateart.com/artists/c_curry_bohm
