Note from Leslie N. Taliaferro, student of the artist: He owned and operated The American School of Commercial Art in Dallas, Texas in the immediate years following the Korean War. i.e 1952 and thereafter. I was enrolled from 1953 to 1955. At the time he was a highly accomplished artist, specializing in watercolors and of course oils on occasion.
Born and raised in Hinesville, Georgia, Frank Calder became an active artist in Dallas, Texas, where he arrived in 1918 after serving in World War I. He established a commercial art business using the name Frank Calder Studio of Commercial Art. He also taught in The American School of Commercial Art until his death in 1968.
Calder exhibited with the Annual Texas Artists Exhibitions and at the State Fair in Dallas.
