Hugo Beetz was born December 25, 1911 in San Francisco, California.
He was a prolific watercolorist and lithographer who worked in a Regionalist
style and was extremely active in the California Watercolor Society. Beetz studied in several institutions including the Art Students League in New York under George Bridgeman, Grand Central Art School with Grant Reynard and the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco under Spencer Macky and Ray Bertrand. In 1931 the artist entered Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, California where he studied for four years under Pruett Carter and Lawrence Murphy.
During
his time at Chouinard Beetz also illustrated for the publications Westways
and Script and in 1939 traveled to Europe where he illustrated race
tracks in Paris and Milan. In
1944 Beetz moved to San Francisco where he taught at the California
College of Arts and Crafts, the Academy of Advertising Art and the City
College of San Francisco. Beetz became a member of the California Society
of Etchers in 1954 and exhibited with the group in 1954 and 1956. Throughout
his career Beetz exhibited widely in California and other parts of the
United States. Such exhibitions include: The Theodore B. Modra Exhibition
of Art; The Pomona Exhibition; Foundation of Western Artists in Los
Angeles on several occasions; The Riverside Museum in New York, The
Redland Art Guild Exhibition where he received First Prize; San Francisco
Art Association on several occasions; Art Institute of Chicago; The
E.R. Pennell Exhibition of Prints at the Library of Congress; The Philadelphia

addition to The California Watercolor Society and The California Society
of Etchers, Beetz was a member of the American Association of Professors.
His work is included in the San Francisco Museum of Art permanent collection. In 1960 Janice Lovoos wrote of Carl Beetz’s work in an article titled “The Drawings and Lithographs of Carl Beetz” in American Artist Magazine.
