==Background==
Francis Focer Brown was a child prodigy drawn at an early age to the field of art. Born in Glassboro, New Jersey, Brown later relocated to Muncie, Indiana, where he attended school as a teenager. During summer vacations while attending Muncie Southside High School, Brown received instruction from J. Ottis Adams in Brookville, Indiana. The course J. Ottis Adams offered lasted only seven weeks, so Brown rented a room at The Hermitage to be near Adams, whom he described in later years as "a wonderfully kind and inspiring teacher" (Eldredge, 1964). Following his instruction with Adams, Brown later enrolled at the John Herron Art Institute where he studied directly under William Forsyth (artist), a teacher known for his stern manner. Brown later shared a studio with his wife, Beulah H. Brown, whom he met while a student at the Herron Art Institute. Because Beulah was allergic to oil paints, the majority of Brown's work was created in Tempera, Acrylic, Watercolor, Pastel, Charcoal and Pencil, with only a very small percentage conducted in Encaustics or Oils.
Brown's subsequent progress and recognition a premier Indiana painter later allowed him to paint and teach at Winegate, Mitchell, and Richmond – all towns in Indiana. This experience prepared him for a post in the Art Department at Ball State University, a post which he would maintain from 1925 to 1957, and from 1957 as Professor Emeritus. Brown was also a well-known exhibitor of the Hoosier Salon, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Indiana Art Club, The Western Art Association, and other local and national art organizations, including the Richmond Group, a well-known collective of Indiana artists working in the area of Richmond, Indiana.
Brown achieved an enviable local reputation, exhibiting regularly at national shows, including those at the Hoosier Salon (1925–64), where he won a number of awards, as well as the Cleveland Museum of Art and many others. Notably, Brown's portrait was painted by Wayman Elbridge Adams, who also studied at the Herron School of Art. Adams, in turn, was well known by historians for portraits of prominent persons including important artists, political leaders and authors, such as Booth Tarkington.
