(1930-1999)
Frank M. Hamilton wasborn in Kansas City, Missouri in 1930, and traveled extensively in search ofnew and unusual ideas for his paintings.
Although his subjectswere generally studies of rural life in America, reminiscences of the past,relics of civilization that have remained unchanged for a century or more, healso painted Hawaii, the Orient, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bahamas as well as AmericanIndian life.
Architecture is oftendominant in a Hamilton watercolor, reflecting his educational background.Cautioned that the life of an artist was often precarious, Frank was persuadedto study building design. After spending two years at Stanford University, hefinally received his degree in architecture from Kansas University in 1954.Shortly thereafter he received his license to practice architecture in thestate of Kansas. Then followed two years of commissioned service in the USArmy, during which he continued his artistic studies. After service in thearmy, he returned to architecture, but soon thereafter made painting hisfull-time profession, something he had considered ever since he had producedhis first serious drawing at age fifteen.
Hamilton became one ofthe country’s more successful artists. Although he is primarily self-taught, hedid study for a time with the American watercolorist Eliot O’Hara. Hamiltondeveloped a meticulously detailed style but with a visionary quality that tookhis work out of the school of photographic realism. He was influenced byseveral prominent artists, predominantly Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth.
His paintings, in bothoil and watercolor, show an affinity for the soul of America. The subjects hechose, always thoughtfully selected, tell a story, or perhaps bring back amemory, yet are always exquisitely drafted. His paintings and printed workshave been collected widely. Hamilton was listed in Who’s Who in American Art SAME OR NEXT DAY!
