Fred Beaver (b. 1911, d. 1980) was an important part of the early Bacone school of Indian painting.  His style helped define traditional Oklahoma Indian art, and was instrumental (along with Solomon McCombs and Acee Blue Eagle) in defining traditional painting of the Five Civilized Tribes.  In fact, Fred Beaver was one of the first artists designated as "Master Artists" of the Five Civilized Tribes Museum.  His works are included in many important institutional collections, including the Heard Museum (Phoenix, AZ), and the Philbrook Museum (Tulsa, OK).

The Gallery has a limited number of original paintings by Fred Beaver.
