Clymer Foundation

The Clymer Museum of Art in Ellensburg, WA is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the art and life of John Ford Clymer, an esteemed artist known for his historically accurate paintings and illustrations depicting early Western America.

Through generous donations and support, the museum has built an excellent collection of Clymer's work, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the pioneering spirit and simplicity of life on the Western frontier. John Ford Clymer, born in Ellensburg in 1907, showed a special talent for art from a young age. After gaining recognition for his pen and ink drawings, Clymer pursued a career as an illustrator, working for various magazines and companies in Canada and later in New York. During World War II, he served as an illustrator for the Marine Corps. The Clymer Museum honors his legacy, providing a glimpse into his varied career and his dedication to capturing the essence of early American culture and life through his art.Generated from the website
