Details

Join the IHS for an afternoon of art with Fine Arts Curator Emerita of the Indiana State Museum Rachel Berenson Perry. Perry’s lecture will cover "Painter of the Dunes, Frank Dudley." Once his photographer brother introduced him to the sand dunes of Indiana and vicinity in 1911, Frank Virgil Dudley devoted the rest of his creative life to painting landscapes of the area’s stunning scenery and unique diversity, becoming one of the state’s preeminent artists. His well-earned titles of “Seer of the Dunes” and “Painter of the Dunes” allude to his almost obsessive subject matter as well as his activism to save the dunes.
