Mary Howey Murray Vawter (American, 1871-1950), "Indiana Landscape", c.1922; oil/canvas, 29" x 32",
Est: $1,800 - $2,200
signed. Mary was the first wife of fellow Indiana painter, Will Vawter. She studied in Baltimore and at the Art Students League. Mary was an accomplshed poet and a great fan of James W, Riley. She came to Indiana to meet Riley and hopefully marry him, but ended up marrying his friend (Will Vawter) in 1906. The couple moved to Brown County and renovated a farm. Both artists painted, and Mary ran the farm. The two were somewhat oddly matched from the start, and got a divorce in 1923. Mary exhibited at the Hoosier Salon from 1929-1929-1937; and also at the J.B. Speed Museum (Louisville), and the Independent Artist’s Association.
