San Antonio artist Cletus Behlmann spread joy and color through his numerous paintings
Raised on a farm in a small Missouri town near St. Louis, and educated in Catholic schools, Cletus Behlmann graduated from St. Mary’s University in 1956 and took his vows as a Marianist brother in 1958.Since his death, prices for Behlmann’s art have risen dramatically, according to officials at Vogt Auction Galleries on Blanco Road.
Despite the commonly held belief that the price of an artist’s work jumps upon the artist's death, this isn't necessarily the case, she said. Raised on a farm in the small Missouri town of Florissant near St. Louis, Behlmann graduated from St. Mary’s University in 1956 and took his vows as a Marianist brother in 1958.
There was hardly a medium in which Behlmann didn’t work. He used acrylics, watercolors and occasionally oils and painted on virtually any surface, including canvas, handmade paper, wooden boards and fabric. Skilled as a carpenter, he also crafted and decorated altars, tables, chairs and other furniture as well as sculptures, both figurative and abstract. He even built and decorated his own casket.
