Robert Frame a California painter best known for his colorful, light-filled still-life and landscape paintings. Classically trained, Frame won acclaim for his paintings early in his career. He won 22 prizes in national exhibitions between 1948 and 1965 and earned a yearlong Guggenheim Fellowship in creative painting in 1957. In the middle period of his career, he pursued abstract techniques and abstract Impressionism. "Above all," Frame said, "a painting must be a visual adventure beyond a simple representation, a metamorphosis into the magic of art." Frame also taught at USC, the Otis Art Institute and Santa Barbara City College. In 1975, a Times critic reviewing Frame's work at a local gallery wrote that "his landscapes are leaner, more direct," and concluded that it was "nice to see a mature Southland artist growing stronger."
Robert Frame attended Pasadena City College, Pomona College in Claremont, and from 1947 to 1950 also studied at Santa Barbara City College.

Frame won many Awards: Among them are the 1947 Arizona State Exhibition … 1957, Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Painting … Los Angeles Municipal Art Exhibition … 1958 California State Exhibition … 1959 National Orange Show … 1965 James D. Phelan Awards.
