Georges La Chance (1888–1964) “Retrospective”
Georges (Jack) LaChance was born in Utica, New York in 1888. His family moved to St. Louis where he decided to become a painter after visiting the art gallery at the St. Louis World’s fair in 1904. He dropped out of school at age 15 to work on a sailing schooner where he fell in love with the sea. Jack studied for a short time at the St. Louis School of Fine Art. After moving to Vincennes, Indiana to open a photography studio, he was drawn to the Brown County Art Colony and soon moved there with his new wife Sally in 1931. He was a prominent member of the Brown County Art Gallery Association from 1934 to 1954 and a charter member and President of the Brown County Art Guild. He exhibited at the Marshall Field Gallery and Art Institute of Chicago, the Sheldon Swope Art Gallery in Terre Haute, Indiana and the Hoosier Salon from 1926–1961. He became very successful painting landscapes with horses and farmers and loved to hike and sketch with his wife and other artists. In winters he and Sally traveled south and to the islands that he loved so much to paint impressionist seascapes. Sally died in 1947 and Jack, after losing much of his interest in painting and his studio on Cheerful Hill, died in 1964.
