First published in 1966, this account of the life and work of T. C. Steele, one of Indiana’s most renowned artists, has become a much-sought-after classic. For this reissue, sixty-two of the book’s seventy-six illustrations, including all ten color plates, have been newly photographed and reproduced according to the highest modern standards. The text, unchanged from the first edition, includes a brief biography by the painter’s grandson, Theodore L. Steele; a poetic memoir of Steele’s last Brown County years by Selma N. Steele; and an appreciation of Steele’s work by art historian Wilbur D. Peat.
