Fred (Frederick) Machetanz (1908 - 2002) was active/lived in Alaska, New York, Ohio.  Fred Machetanz is known for Arctic landscape, wildlife and genre painting.

Fred Machetanz is the most widely acclaimed artist to continue the traditional frontier image of Alaska into the present day. Focusing on Alaskan animals, Native people, pioneers, and the dramatic landscape, Machetanz's work is widely reproduced and highly sought after by individuals and public collections throughout the United States and abroad.

Born in 1908 in Kenton, Ohio, and trained in art at Ohio State University, Machetanz intended a brief visit to his uncle Charles Traeger's remote Unalakleet, Alaska trading post in 1935, but remained for two years. After working as an illustrator in New York, sailing with a Coast Guard patrol along Alaska's coast, and serving in the Aleutians with the Navy in World War II, the artist returned to Unalakleet, where he met and married writer Sara Dunn in 1947. The couple worked together on books, films, and lecture tours for many years, and they lived in the home they built near Palmer from 1950 until Sara's death in September 2001.   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 1418 characters.]  Artist bio
