Paul Rodda Cook
Paul Rodda Cook,
1897-1972, a muralist, and painter of portraits, landscapes and
still-lifes, was born in Salinas, Kansas. His family moved to Uvalde,
Texas when he was 7 years old. It took some time for Cook to realize
that he wanted to be an artist. He first studied law at the University
of Texas, Austin, leaving school for Massachusetts, where he took a job,
obviously marking time, in sales for a tanning company. He was saved by
an illness that sent him back to San Antonio, where he began his art
studies with Hugo David Pohl, then to Taos, New Mexico, with well-known
artists Walter Ufer and Leon Gaspard. When Cook began his art studies,
he did so with a fixity of purpose, continuing in Boston with Hermann
Dudley Murphy, and in Woodstock, New York, with Charles Rosen, Lowell
Birge Harrison, and Henry Lee McFee. |
