Mr. Handforth was born in Tacoma on September 16, 1897 to Thomas Jefferson Handforth, a prominent lumberman and well known singer, and Ruby Shera Handforth, a talented artist of Irish descent. He grew up in the Northwest and studied at an early age with Mrs. Alice D. Engley Beek, noted Tacoma artist. His fellow student in the early 1900's was sculptor Allan Clark. Mr. Handforth graduated from Stadium High School and put in one year at the University of Washington, studying English literature and not art, before leaving the state to study at art schools in the US and Paris. Recognition of his talent came early and he became a world traveler, recording his surroundings in his art. His work had an oriental flair, obtained during his 7 year stay in China, where he went originally on a Guggenheim Fellowship. He died October 19, 1948 at the age of 51 of a heart attack at his new studio near Los Angeles. His etchings, lithographs, illustrations and childrens' books brought him international acclaim.
