Louis Bonsib was born in Vincennes, Indiana, in 1892, took his bachelor's degree at Indiana University in 1916, and worked as an engraver in Indianapolis before founding his own printing and advertising company in Fort Wayne, where he lived and painted for the rest of his career. He served in the Army Air Corps during the Second World War, was president of the Fort Wayne Art School in 1948–49, and exhibited in the Hoosier Salon for more than twenty-five years. Late in life he donated several hundred of his paintings and more than two hundred art books to Vincennes University, which awarded him an honorary doctorate. Record note: Bonsib's documentation is thinner than most in this section — the fullest account is a Fort Wayne Medical Society journal profile of Winter 2020–21 — and the profile is kept to what that record supports.
