The current exhibition in our Franco D\u2019Agostino Art Gallery is comprised of the work of Louis W. Bonsib. All are welcome to view Mr. Bonsib’s work from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. in the D\u2019Agostino Art Gallery, which is located in Indiana Tech’s Academic Center.<\/em><\/p>\n

Louis William Bonsib is best known in Fort Wayne history as a marketing and advertising pioneer. His Bonsib Advertising Agency, founded in 1924, became one of Indiana\u2019s most highly regarded agencies of its time. Fortunately for the world, and for Indiana Tech, Mr. Bonsib also found time to pursue his passion of putting brush to canvas and become an accomplished painter.<\/p>\n

To Mr. Bonsib, his paintings weren\u2019t just artistic expressions. He also used them as tools to help evangelize the significance of the fine arts in our community. It was not uncommon for Mr. Bonsib to donate his works to organizations within the region to enhance its appreciation for the arts. In fact, from 1957-1963, Mr. Bonsib donated 53 paintings to Indiana Tech. The current exhibition in our Franco D\u2019Agostino Art Gallery is comprised of some of Mr. Bonsib\u2019s gifts to the university.<\/p>\n

Mr. Bonsib\u2019s works were exhibited frequently, including at the Hoosier Salon, in Carmel, the Herron School of Art and Design, in Indianapolis, and the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, in Ogunquit, Maine. Locally, his paintings have been on display in the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, the Allen County Public Library and Fort Wayne Community Schools. Seven of his paintings were featured in a collection at the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University. Mr. Bonsib is mentioned in Peter H. Falk\u2019s 1999 \u201cWho Was Who in American Art, 1564-1975 : 400 Years of Artists in America,\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Bonsib retired from the Bonsib Advertising Agency in 1972. He died in 1979 at the age of 87.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-91338","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFranco D\u2019Agostino Art Gallery Indiana Tech Louis Bonsib<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Louis William Bonsib is best known in Fort Wayne history as a marketing and advertising pioneer.
