Provenance: From a private collector in Zionsville / Indianapolis. Biography from Foltz Fine Art: Constance Forsyth's education began in her hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana, with a BA in chemistry from Butler University. In 1925, she enrolled at the John Herron Art School where her father, William Forsyth, taught painting, and where she received a diploma in 1929. In 1927-28, and again in 1930 Forsyth attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She furthered her art training at the Broadmoor Art Academy in Colorado Springs in 1932 and in 1934 where she attended the first lithography class taught in the region. In 1933, Forsyth worked as an assistant to Thomas Hart Benton on the Indiana History Murals project for the Century of Progress International Exposition in Chicago. Her 33-year association with The University of Texas at Austin began in 1940 Lockwood to create a printmaking program in the art department. In 1945, to gain a stronger understanding of the technical aspects of printing lithographs, Connie arranged for a one-week session as assistant to master printer, George Miller. The copious notes she made during this training session allowed her to pass Miller's printing techniques on to future generations of printmakers. Forsyth was a longtime member of the "Texas Printmakers" group originally called the "Printmakers Guild." This organization enabled its members to exhibit their work in "circuit" exhibitions around the country and through this process, helped to educate the public about printmaking. Among the collections in which Forsyth's work can be found are: the Dallas Museum of Art, the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, the Witte Museum and The McNay Museum in San Antonio, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and the Joslyn Memorial Museum in Omaha. graphite / pencil on paper Dimensions: 20"H x 18"W (frame), 11 1/2"H x 9 1/2"W (sight)
