Singer, Clyde Jacob
Clyde Jacob Singer (October 20, 1908 - January 5, 1999) was an American muralist, teacher, painter, and etcher. Born in Malvern, Ohio, Singer enrolled in the art school at the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts (now the Columbus Museum of Art) after high school and was soon directed into a career as an artist. He was awared a scholarship to attend the Art Students League in New York in 1933. Eventually he returned home to Ohio, where he again found a job painting signs, just as he had earlier in life. He sent a large canvas to the Chicago Art Institute in 1935 and won the Harris silver medal and $500. After this success, Singer entered numerous exhibitions, including the Whitney Museum Annual and the Corcoran Biennial. He accepted a job from Joseph Butler III to teach at the Butler Institute in 1940. He married Bernice Shimp, one of his former students, in 1941. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942, worked as an artist for the Army, and served in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Japan before being discharged in 1945. Singer returned to the Butler Institute after the war. Over the course of his career, Singer produced over 3,000 works.
