Dr. Hinkhouse was born July 7, 1925, in the Melick home, 517 N. Clay St., West Liberty, the son of George V. and Carrie M. Melick Hinkhouse. He graduated from West Liberty High School and later, after studies at the Universidad de Mexico, received a bachelor of arts degree from Coe College in 1948. Post graduate work included Harvard from 1948-49 and New York University in 1950 where he received a master's of fine arts degree. He received a PhD from the University of Madrid in Spain in 1952. He also received a distinguished honorary degree in letters from Eureka College in 1983. He spent his youth in West Liberty where he was a drum major for the West Liberty High School Marching Band and a well-known and respected lifeguard at the community's municipal pool. As an adult, his career spanned nearly 25 years in which he dedicated himself to the support and promotion of the fine arts. He was the founding executive director of the Phoenix Art Museum and led that institution during its early days of development and expansion. He was also a founding member of the Phoenix Art Museum and Phoenix Fine Arts Association. In addition, he was a professor of art history at the University of Buffalo and a guest lecturer at Phoenix College and Arizona State University, Tempe, Ariz. He was a noted art critic and reviewer for the Buffalo Evening News and the Arizona Republic and Gazette newspapers during the 1950's. During this time he also traveled extensively throughout Europe with his sister, Frances. Upon his retirement from active museum administration, he turned his attention to providing support for numerous educational institutions and museums throughout the country. An avid collector of contemporary art, he spent many years gifting works of art to various museums and educational institutions. With his sister, he established the Hinkhouse Art Collection at Coe College in 1967. The F.M. and Frances Hinkhouse Lectureship at Coe College was also established shortly after their gift of artwork in 1969. He also created the Hinkhouse Art Collection at the Melick Library of Eureka College in 1969. The gifts of artwork were in memory of his parents. He also contributed artwork and established the Hinkhouse Gallery of Art at Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., in honor of his sister. He and his sister were also generous benefactors of the University of Iowa's Museum of Art, Luther College in Decorah and Cottey College in Nevada, Mo. In later years, he became active as a member of the Coe College Board of Trustees. A noted historian, he wrote numerous articles and books on prominent artists and collectors, including biographies on John Hultberg, Lew Davis, Phillip Curtist and Levier. He also contributed his writing talents and knowledge to many art catalogs. He served with the U.S. Army in 1955-57, where he was assigned to the intelligence section of the Fourth Army Headquarters, and was awarded the 'Miembro del Claustro Extraordinario Award' from the Spanish Foreign Office in 1952. He was a member of the Episcopal Church and numerous art museum associations. Survivors include a sister, Frances James of Iowa City; many cousins; and numerous friends.
