Main works
He came to Chicago, Illinois, in 1932 with his longtime collaborator Jose Martin to pursue a job with the Northwestern Terra Cotta Company only to find the job closed. However, he developed plenty of work, first in Illinois, briefly with Cowan Pottery in Lakewood, Ohio, and then principally in Texas. In 1953 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate Academician. • Illustration — Hall of Administration, now The Women's Museum, Dallas, Texas, 1936
