Fiscus+and+Scott

=Fiscus and Scott=

Charles Fiscus had a working relationship with artist Frank Edwin Scott. Scott (and most likely Fiscus) studied with John Love at the Indiana School of Art. Later, he would study in New York, New York and then move to Paris (Burnet, Mary Quick. __[|Art and Artists of Indiana]__. New York: Century, 1921.)

John Love and James Gookins established the Indiana School of Art in 1877. It was housed in the Fletcher-Sharpe Block at the corner at Washington and Pennsylvania streets. When the school failed in 1879 many of the students (including Fiscus and Scott) continued to occupy the rooms (Bodenhamer, David J., et al. __[|The Encyclopedia of Indianapolis]__. Bloomington: IU University Press, 1994.)

 * 1887 Map of Indianapolis. Look for Sharpe's Block located at the corner of Washington and Pennsylvania streets. Also notice that even in 1887, the area designated "Milly Artist's Rooms." This could easily be the same rooms occupied by Charles Fiscus and Frank E. Scott a few years earlier. (The Digital Collections of IUPUI University Library) ||
