(1875-1956)
Louis Oscar Griffith (American 1875-1956) was initially a successful commercial artist in Chicago who became fed up with impending deadlines and demanding art directors. Shortly after an assignment where an art director requested that a Griffith illustrated ham be rendered "more graceful," the artist made Brown County, Indiana, his permanent home in 1922. Leaving the restricting for-hire art world far behind him, Griffith was now able to concentrate full time on the painting and print-making that would sustain the artist and his family for the rest of his life.
Mr. Griffith exhibited widely, including in the Panama-Pacific Exposition, San Francisco (1915); the Hoosier Salon (1920s–1950s, including Best of Show in 1930); the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1921); the National Academy of Design (1943); the National Gallery of Art (1945); and the Smithsonian Institute (also 1945), among many others.
