H. Reuben Reynolds
(Centerburg, OH, 1898 - 1974, Logan, UT)
H. Reuben "Harry" Reynolds, a close Calvin Fletcher associate at Utah State University, was also a dynamic force in that school's 1920s-30s ascendancy within the state regarding a more liberalized approach to the arts. This photographer-painter and small-metals designer originally came from Centerburg, Ohio. Graduating from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1923, he immediately joined the Logan staff and remained there on the regular faculty into the 1960s. Reynolds won awards early on in drawing and painting and jewelry, and later studied with William Owens, Lee Randolph, Birger Sandzen, Otis Oldfield, Ralph Stackpole, B. J. O. Nordfeldt, and the famed regionalist Grant Wood. As a painter and a Charles Sheeler-like investigator of spatial relationships and simplified form, Harry Reynolds studied with Wood in the late 1930s; discovered photography as his primary means of visual expression in the same period and finally gave up painting altogether in favor of the camera in 1941. Active in organizing the Utah State Fair and Utah Centennial exhibitions, Reynolds also became a significant pioneer in the development of color photography in addition to his earlier accomplishments on canvas, a fact that Utahns became aware of through a series of one-man shows of the artist's work with brush or camera in Salt Lake City, Logan, Ogden., Provo, and Cedar City.
