    Richard Buckner Gruelle Indiana, New York, (1851-1914) landscape watercolor on paper Signed lower right. Biography from the Archives of askART: A self-taught landscape painter, illustrator and writer Richard Gruelle lived in Indianapolis and Norwalk, Connecticut. He was apprenticed to a house and sign painter as a young man. He initially practiced portraiture but was best known as a landscape painter in the tradition of the Barbizon school, having taken up landscape painting in oil and watercolor in Indianapolis, circa1882. He painted for several seasons during the1890s in Washington, DC and held several exhibitions there. Gruelle was a member of the reknowned "Hoosier Group" which included T. C. Steele, William Forsyth, J. Ottis Adams and Otto Stark (see entries for each). In 1897 he was commissioned to paint seascapes in New England and eventually made annual painting trips to Cape Ann (MA ). In 1905 he moved to New York City, returning briefly to Indiana in 1907, but then settling permanently in the East in 1910 in Norwalk, Connecticut, near the Silver Mine River. He died while on a visit to Indianapolis. He was illustrator of James Whitcomb Riley's When the Frost is on the Punkin: and The Old Swimmin; Hole from Neighborly Poems. Author: Exhibitions included the Denison Hotel, 1894; Five Hoosier Painters, Chicago, 1894; Art Institute of Chicago, 1897; Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, 1904; Indianapolis & New Canaan (solos).

    Est: $800 - $1,500

    Richard Buckner Gruelle (1851 - 1914) Watercolor on paper, signed lower left, measures 10.5 x 8 inches and 16 x 13 inches w/frame. Born in Cynthiana, Kentucky, the self-taught artist is the only one of the Hoosier Group painters without European training. Gruelle grew up in Arcola, Illinois, apprenticed as a house and sign painter, and established his first studio in Decatur, Illinois, where he began by painting portraits and domestic scenes before turning to landscapes. Gruelle relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1882 to pursue a career as a full-time landscape painter. Gruelle also made extended sketching trips to the East Coast of the United States. Gruelle and his wife moved to Norwalk, Connecticut, in 1910. Gruelle was a member of several arts organizations, including the Art Association of Indianapolis (forerunner to the present-day Indianapolis Museum of Art), the New Canaan Society of Artists, the Society of Western Artists, and the Knockers, an East Coast art group. Although he only occasionally exhibited his art in national exhibitions, one a notable exception was the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at Saint Louis, Missouri, in 1904. Gruelle's eldest son, Johnny Gruelle (1880–1938), became a commercial artist, illustrator, and author, who is best known as the creator of the Raggedy Ann doll and related books and illustrations.
