Hoosier impressionist Homer Davisson is primarily
associated with the Fort Wayne, Indiana, school. He was born near
Blountsville, Indiana, and was a graduate of DePauw University in
Greencastle, Indiana. His art studies took him to the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia; the Art Students League
in New York City, where he met fellow Hoosier artist Marie Goth;
and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. He also studied
in Germany (Munich), Holland and France.
Starting in the 1920s Davisson began spending his summers in
Brown County, Indiana, where he became a charter member of the
Brown County Art Gallery Association in Nashville. He was a
teacher at the Fort Wayne Art School.
He exhibited his work, primarily pastoral landscapes, at the
Hoosier Salon, the Swope Art Gallery, the Fort Wayne Art Museum
and the Indiana Artists' Club. His paintings are in the
collections of the Ruthmere house museum in Elkhart, Indiana, the
Wabash, Indiana, Carnegie Public Library, and Manchester College,
