Artist Biography: Kansas native Foster Hyatt (1908-1995) painted his first watercolor in 1930, after turning his interest in horses into sketches while in high school. When he entered Oklahoma A&M (now OSU), Hyatt rejected the idea of studying to be a purist artist and chose to study architecture. At OSU, Hyatt met classmates Ralph Ball and Ed Hudgins, who later formed an architecture firm. In 1939 Ball and Hudgins asked Hyatt to create delineations (paintings of the proposed building and its surroundings). After working in Oklahoma for two years, he eventually moved on to open a delineation studio in Santa Fe. "It was then that he more and more got into his love, which is just pure art," said Rex Ball, chief executive officer of HTB Inc. Living in the oldest house in Santa Fe, Hyatt began his fine art and historical conquest. He used the watercolor and air brush medium to depict the old Spanish architecture of New Mexico and Arizona. "He started long before it was fashionable to protect or chronicle buildings," Ball said. "In some cases, the fact that he brought attention to a building has helped save it."_______________________________________________________________ MULTIPLE PURCHASES: I will gladly combine items for a savings on shipping!
