Born on July 31, 1924, Robert Frame began his art career in the mid-1940s. He attended Pasadena City College, Pomona College in Claremont, and from 1947 to 1950 studied under Henry Lee McFee. Frame taught art at Santa Barbara City College from 1966 until 1986.
Frame’s paintings have a strong sense of design and symmetry with a master’s intuitive understanding of color and its effect on the viewer’s interpretation of light and form. He often began a work by sketching an architectonic form that provided the painting with a solid compositional base. He would then proceed to develop spontaneous imagery within these forms. In this way, Frame built his works to result in paintings of strong design and fluidity. He died on December 6, 1999.
