Charles Franklin Reaugh
Charles Franklin Reaugh (also known as Frank) was an artist, teacher, and inventor who lived from 1860-1945. He wanted his art to show the unsettled regions of the southwest before 1900. He chose to use pastels and paints for his pictures.
When he was fifteen, Frank moved from his home in Illinois to Terrell, Texas. While in Texas, he lived on a cotton farm and learned to paint by copying the artwork of famous artists in Europe. Most of this art showed large animals. Around 1800, Frank was given the opportunity to ride along with two cattlemen on their cattle round-up. After this trip, the men helped him pay to study art in St. Louis and Paris. In Paris, he learned how to use pastels in art. In 1890, Frank moved to Dallas with his family. At this house, Frank and his dad built an art studio in their backyard where Frank could work. His artwork became very famous during the next ten years. Over his lifetime, Frank Reaugh invented a number of useful tools for artists, such as a folding lap easel and a small carrying case for pastels. Reaugh also created and sold his own brand of pastels, which matched the colors of regional plants and flowers. Each pastel was cast in a hexagonal shape so they would be easy to handle when sitting in a field.
Reaugh is also famous for a studio he built in 1928-1929. It contained a vault, or storage area, for paintings. The studio also had places for musical performances and classrooms. He built other things also. When he was teaching art, he made a Model T Ford car into a bus. The bus was a place to ride, sleep, eat, and store supplies.
