Forgotten composer and painter from Hamilton County
Ash
Description
<p>After decades of being mostly forgotten, there have been recent rediscoveries, thanks to history detective work, of a symphonic music composer from <a href= "https://www.carmel.in.gov/"><strong>Carmel</strong></a> and a painter from the <a href= "https://www.cityofnoblesville.org/"><strong>Noblesville</strong></a> area who became the patriarch of a group of <strong><a href= "https://www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/">Hamilton County</a></strong> artists. No photos, not even head shots of either composer <strong>Frederick Hunt</strong> or painter <strong><a href= "https://www.hepl.lib.in.us/noblesville-artists-granville-bishop/">Granville Bishop</a></strong> have been unearthed yet, but that doesn’t mean they were insignificant. And both men were connected in very different ways, to nationally famous illustrator <strong><a href= "https://www.illustrationhistory.org/artists/franklin-booth">Franklin Booth</a></strong>, a Carmel native who moved to New York City. To share insights about Hunt (1906-1967), the classical music composer, Nelson will be joined by two guests.</p>
