Myron Stout was born in 1908 in Denton, Texas. While he decided to be a painter earlier on in his life, he spent some years working as a teacher and in the Army during World War II, later returning to artmaking under the tutelage of Hans Hofmann in 1947. He began exhibiting his works in 1952 and had a solo exhibition with the Hansa Gallery in 1957, which started his long-lasting business relationship with renowned art dealer Dick Bellamy.
