Frank Albert Mechau Jr. (1904–1946), was an American artist and muralist whose distinctive style and lyric visual expressions of the American West earned him an important place in American art. He was born in Wakeeney, Kansas to Frank Albert Mechau (pronounced may-show) and Alice Livingstone Mechau. The family moved to Glenwood Springs, Colorado when Frank Mechau, Jr. was a young boy, and the vast western slope of Colorado remained home ground for the rest of his short life. It provided an extraordinary landscape that stimulated admiration and love of place that never left him.
