Marie Goth (1887-1975) “Hollyhocks and Cabin”

Jessie Marie Goth was born in Indianapolis
in 1887. Otto Stark, one of the
original members of the Hoosier Group was a cousin to her father, Charles.
Marie always wanted to be an artist and won a scholarship to the Art
Students League in New York City with some of her sketches. She studied
for
ten years there with William Merritt Chase, Frank DuMond and Robert Aiken
and excelled at portrait painting. She met V.J. Cariani, another student
there and began a loving relationship which lasted the rest of their
lives.
Marie returned to Indianapolis when “Cari” enlisted to serve
in W.W. I.
Marie and her sister, Genevieve, discovered the peace and beauty of Brown
County and bought a cabin to spend summers sketching and hiking. She
became
a very successful portrait artist in Indianapolis but loved to spend
weekends at the cabin. After W.W. I, she invited Cariani to move to
Brown
County to recover from the war. They eventually built two separate cabins
on the same property, enjoying their strong, independent lives side by
side. Marie has left us a legacy of her portraits and her permanent
collection of paintings at the Brown County Art Guild.
