Acee Blue Eagle (1909-1959) was born Alex McIntosh near Anadarko, Oklahoma and was known by several names during his childhood. A nickname "Ah-Say" became "Acee" when he entered school. Although he had shown an interest in drawing at an early age, it was at the University of Oklahoma that he developed as a serious artist under the guidance of a professor, Dr. Oscar B. Jacobson. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1932, traveled abroad to England to lecture at Oxford in 1935, and returned to Oklahoma the following year where he accepted a teaching appointment at Bacone College until 1938. Following three years of military service during World War II, Blue Eagle joined the art staff of Oklahoma State University Technological School in Okmulgee. He was in residence there until his death on June 18, 1959.
