17" by 24" unframed. 22 3/4" by 27" framed. Provenance: Sold in the CM Russell Art Auction in 1982. Ex Good Medicine Art Associates Collection. Montana artist, Robert F. Morgan was born in 1929 and lived in the Stansfield Lake area of the Helena Valley. "I've always fooled around with painting or some art form," Morgan says. When Bob was only 13 years old he got a job at Fligelman's Department Store in Helena in the advertising/display department. It was at Fligelman's that Morgan received his first instruction in design, color and lettering. In high school, Morgan continued to refine his talents with his natural aptitude, a keen eye to what he viewed and the influence of his commercial art teacher, Freddy Robinson. In 1952, Morgan was hired to design exhibits at the Montana Historical Society. With nothing more than a high school education and a stint in the Montana National Guard, Bob spent 15 years, off and on, as curator of the Montana Historical Society where he designed exhibits and was in charge of art collections and all matters pertaining to the Society's art functions. In the mid 1970's, Bob left the Historical Society to pursue a career in art.
