Lester Wilton Raymer was active/lived in Kansas, Oklahoma. Lester Raymer is known for painting-religious symbol, circus, roosters, boys, teaching
Other: courtesy Red Barn Studio Museum; Raymer Society ; 'Raymer's art was influenced by a number of factors. The circus came to Alva often during Raymer's childhood. He worked for a poultry business where he did drawings and paintings in his spare time. The "Bible" was a source of imagery beginning in his childhood. Raymer's painting professor at the Chicago Art Institute was Boris Aslov from Russia, and his art history professor was Helen Gardner, author of "Art Through the Ages", long-time used as a textbook of American art. Raymer talked often of the great influence his trips to Mexico had on his artwork and of his desire to remodel his studio in the style of a Mexican home. Raymer won major awards and international recognition with his religious art work and liturgical commissions. He taught one year at Bethany College in the art department and then made his living from the sale of his artwork.
