Allen Tupper True (1881-1955)
Allen True was born in Colorado Springs in 1881. Though, Allen spent a majority of his Childhood in Texas. True's parents had a lot of ties with Texas. True's father fought in the war of Texan Succession and his mother operated a kindergarten school there. Though it was Denver that would wind up being their final home.
True attended the University of Denver and later the Corcoran College of Art and design. Growing up in the tumultuous period he did in Texas, most of True's art were depictions of western iconography. Out of College, True found work doing illustrations for magazines, but he really became most know for his mural works.
Above you can see examples of his work from the Mountain Bell Telephone Building (first 8) and from Civic Center Park (last 2). True's work however isn't just endemic to these two locations as his work can also be seen in locations such as the Brown Palace, the Colorado National Bank, South High School, and the state capital.
Allen True died in 1955, but his works still remain to inspire others.
