Louis Oscar Griffith (1875-1956), from Nashville, Indiana, learned plein air painting in Texas, where he grew up, from Frank Reaugh; then he studied art in St. Louis, and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He maintained an exhibition schedule there after a brief stay in New York. A trip to Paris introduced him to the art of Cézanne, which modified his more conservative impressionist style. He went on to win awards at the Hoosier Salon, the Brown County Art Association, and the San Antonio Art League. His works may be found in the J. B. Speed Memorial Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, in the Oakland Art Gallery, and in the Delgado Museum of Art, in New Orleans |
