BIOGRAPHY:
Frank Earl Klepper was born on May 3, 1890, in Plano, Texas, growing up in McKinney, Texas. An artist of many parts, Klepper was a well-known, influential teacher as well as a painter of portraits, still-lifes, landscapes and animals. He was also a ceramist, graphic artist and muralist. Though he remained best known as a landscape painter, Klepper, over his career, moved from an impressionistic landscape style to a concentration on the so-called "Deep South" pictures, to experiments with symbolic painting. Klepper's work has been described by American artist Richard Miller"His wide range of subjects is remarkable, and his frankness and novelty of observation creates interest in all of his work. The poetry of light, direct or reflected, is one of the finest things of his art."Frank Klepper was a member of the American Artists Professional League; American Federation of Arts; Arkansas Art Association (honorary, life); Art Club, McKinney (honorary); Dallas Art Association; Dallas Woman's Forum (honorary); Klepper Sketch Club, and Highland Park Society of Arts, Dallas; New Orleans Art Association; Southern States Art League; and Texas Fine Arts Association.
