Charles Fracé, an internationally-renowned wildlife artist, passed away on December 16, 2005 after a long illness. Charles Fracé was born in 1926 in a small town in eastern Pennsylvania. He began drawing at five and taught himself to paint when he was fifteen. His self-instructed talent earned him a scholarship to Philadelphia’s Museum School of Art.
In 1955, Fracé began a professional career as a freelance illustrator in New York City. Eventually, he became one of the nation’s most sought-after illustrators of wildlife. In 1973, with the issue of Fracé’s first limited edition print, he made the permanent change to fine art. Fracé and his art have been the subject of two books, and have been featured at over 450 one-man shows throughout the country.
