biografische angaben: Associate Professor of Art [of the University of California], Emeritus, and well-known Western painter, died in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on September 25, 1951. He was born in Whitten, Iowa, on January 14, 1883. After graduation from high school at Strawberry Point, Iowa, in 1901, he entered the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, where he remained for three years. He started his professional career as an artist and artist-teacher of California in 1920, when he was appointed to the faculty of the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. He became closely associated with the San Francisco Bay Region artists, and exhibited constantly in their exhibitions. In 1938 he was elected to the Board of Directors of the San Francisco Art Association and through serving in that capacity was influential in shaping the educational program of the California School of Fine Arts, which the Art Association conducts. In 1923 he was called to the faculty of the Department of Art of the University of California at Berkeley, where he remained until he retired in 1948. For his retirement he chose to devote his entire time to painting in the southwest Indian country, and moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he already had established an attractive home and studio.
