FOR SALE

Renowned as a Western illustrator, painter, and sculptor, Frank Hoffman was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1888, growing up, he spent much of his time around his father’s New Orleans, Louisiana, racing stables. Through a family friend, Hoffman was hired to make sketches for the Chicago American, later becoming head of the art department. While working for the paper, he had five years of formal art training in private lessons from J Wellington Reynolds, a portrait painter. In 1916, Hoffman went West to paint, living with the Indian tribes and the cowboys. During that time, he also worked as public relations director for Glacier National Park, where he met noted artist John Singer Sargent. In 1920, Hoffman joined the young art colony in Taos, New Mexico. He studied with Leon Gaspard, learning the use of color. Although focusing on his fine art, Hoffman also painted for corporate advertising campaigns and illustrated Western subjects for the leading national magazines in the 1920s. Advertisers including General Motors, General Electric, and the Great Northern Railway hired him because they loved his bold, broad brushwork and striking colors. Hoffman became the best-known New Mexico illustrator of the time. As his success grew, he bought his own Hobby Horse Rancho, where he raised quarter horses and kept longhorns, dogs, eagles, burros, and even a bear, as live models. Beginning in 1940, Hoffman was under exclusive contract to Brown and Bigelow for calendar art, producing more than 150 Western paintings. He died in Taos, New Mexico, surrounded by the life he loved and painted.

Arthur W. Hall (1889-1981)

Born in Bowie, Texas in 1889, Arthur William Hall spent his childhood in Oklahoma and Virginia and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago although his formal education was cut short by WWI. After the war he lived in Europe for several years and studied printmaking and etching under master artists including noted English etcher E.S. Lumsden. Nearly two years of study and sketching in the mountain villages of Southern France greatly enhanced his artistic abilities and later in America he continued to widen the scope of his subjects and talent by means of sketching trips through the Carolinas, the Kentucky and Tennessee hills, Arizona, and New Mexico. The Halls settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1942 in the former home and studio of artist Gerald Cassidy. The Halls were active in the New Mexico art community and in 1950 purchased an estate near Alcade, NM (a small village between Santa Fe and Taos) where they operated an art school and studio. During the summer it was a vacation art school, providing them the means to pursue their own art the rest of the year. His wife Norma Bassett Hall passed away in 1957 and Hall remarried in 1963. From that time until his death in 1981, Hall worked exclusively in watercolor. In his last years Hall lived in Albuquerque, NM and focused all of his attention to perfecting his skill as a painter. He remained active almost until his death in 1981 at the age of 91.
