Frank M.(Matson)Walts was an an American artist and civil engineer, born in Lima Township, La Grange County Indiana on March 23, 1877. He contributed many covers for The Masses, The Crisis, Liberator and New Masses ; he also contributed to Good Morning, International Communist, Harper's Weekly, Collier's and New Yorker, as well as Broadway theater posters. He exhibited drawings at New York's International Exhibition of Modern Art, the epochal Armory Show of 1913. Walts died in New York City on January 21, 1941. Although he is often described as an African American, Walts was a white man who graduated from Purdue University and spent most of his working life in New York City. Confusion about his race probably stems from the fact that he worked for a number of African American publications and people simply assumed he was black.
