Biography


Born in Texas in 1930, Charles Beckendorf grew up surrounded by nature. The son of working-class parents of Texas German descent, he had very little opportunity to study art in any formal setting in his youth. Despite limited opportunities for a formal art education, he cultivated a simple, unadorned artistic style that is recognizably his on his adventures by foot through the Texas Hill Country.

Once he had become an accomplished sketch artist working mainly in ink, Beckendorf secured a position where he developed illustrated training manuals for the United States Air Force during the Korean War. After his service, he attended the MFA program at Corpus Christi and became a commercial artist.

While commercial endeavors paid the bills, Beckendorf never lost his early affection for painting nature and landscapes. Working on watercolor projects on the side, he built up a substantial collection that attracted buyers from all over the world. Recognized as a leading example of Outsider Art, like his fellow Texan John Cowan, Beckendorf found an appreciative public when he opened his own gallery in Fredericksburg, TX.

    Charles Beckendorf (1930-1996), "Whitetail Fauns", hand-colored lithograph, ed. 8/100, 7.25 x 10", frame 18 x 22" Charles Beckendorf grew up in the small South Texas town of Mathis. After attaining a Fine Arts Degree at the University of Texas in Austin, Beckendorf and his family moved to Los Angeles, California where Beckendorf worked as an illustrator for Howard Hughes and Walt Disney. In the early 1960's, Beckendorf moved his family back to Texas and did illustrations for Texas Parks and Wildlife and Harry Jersig at Lone Star Beer. In the 1960's while living in Houston, Beckendorf introduced his pen and ink pointillism drawings as prints to the market and they became a huge success. Beckendorf moved to Fredericksburg, Texas in the mid 1960's and opened a small gallery on Main Street in 1971. Beckendorf was commissioned by the Houston Museum of Natural Science to paint a 13' high x 144' long mural of Africa for the African Hall, which took him almost six years to complete. In 1972 and 1973, Beckendorf rented the 100,000 square foot Astro Hall in Houston, Texas and held the largest "Artist and Art Dealers Market" ever known showcasing artists from Texas, other states in the United States, and many other countries. In the 1980's, Beckendorf published four large coffee table books of his paintings and drawings, titled "Images of Texas" and opened the largest one-artist gallery in the world at 16,000 square feet. He also published another book for the Texas Sesquicentennial in 1986, titled "Charles Beckendorf / Texas". Five-term Mayor of Houston, Texas, Kathy Whitmire proclaimed October 1, 1986 Charles Beckendorf Day. Beckendorf originals hung in Governor Ann Richards' office during her governorship from 1991 through 1995. Beckendorf published his sixth book titled "Charles Beckendorf Texas Wildlife" in 1992. Beckendorf was also chosen for two Texas non-game Stamp & Prints, American Kestrel in 1988 and Road Runners in 1995 and for the State of Texas Turkey Stamp & Print in 1995. Charles Beckendorf's art has been collected by prominent Texans and Texas families, as well as "those that wish they were" for decades.

    Charles Beckendorf Avian Prints (Multiple)

    Est: $80 - $120

    Charles Beckendorf (American, 1930 - 1996), four avian prints each with signature and dated to the bottom, all framed under glass as a multiple; measures approximately 24" in height by 28-1/2" in width with sight image measuring approximately 6" in height by 8-3/4" in width to each of the prints. Charles grew up in Mathis, Texas, where he had the opportunity to spend hours on large ranches. Generous land owners gave him permission to wander freely over their ranches and he observed creatures in their natural surroundings. He developed a lifelong love of nature, whether it be in the tiniest of flowers or the largest of animals. It was at this time that he became a true naturalist. Art classes were not offered in the Mathis schools, and most of Charles’ teachers were annoyed with his innate interest in drawing. He was told that he “would never amount to anything” if he just sat around drawing. After graduating from high school in 1948, he enrolled in the University of Corpus Christi and delightfully discovered that he could actually major in art. He later attended Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos (now Texas State University).
