BIOGRAPHY: Robert William Meyers was born in New York City in 1919. The son of strict parenting, his parents had hopes of another accountant in the family. It must have caused some stir when he turned his direction to his artwork. His art career was focused on the West, thanks to movies he enjoyed as a boy.Meyers studied at the Grand Central Art School, the National Academy of Design with Ivan Olinsky and the Traphagen School of Fashion. A review of his work shows his true mastering of figures. After World War II, he began illustrating for children’s books and western paperbacks.In December 1950, Meyers began his employment with the Charles E. Cooper Studios of New York, NY. After just a few weeks, he met James Bama and they formed a friendship lasting for the rest of their lives. From 1952 to 1962, he completed 94 illustrations for short stories in the Saturday Evening Post. He also did illustrations for True and Argosy magazines. As the illustrations in the Saturday Evening Post began to dwindle, Meyers could see the same for the future of the commercial illustrator.In 1960, he moved his family to the 300-acre Circle M Ranch on the South Fork of the Shoshone River near Yellowstone National Park, fifty miles from Cody, Wyoming. During the summer of 1970, Meyers was inducted into the Cowboy Artists of America. Tragically Meyers' life and career ended later that same year over a dispute with a neighbor who attempted to have an easement through the Circle M Ranch. Robert Meyers was never able to participate in the CAA annual show, but his art lives on. CAA Member from 1970-1970.
