Robert ‘Bob’ Takatch, (1924-2003) known as “the dean of Chagrin Falls Ohio watercolorists,” lived a life characterized by creativity, generosity, and a passion for sharing his knowledge with others.

A WWII Navy veteran, Bob worked for The Plain Dealer, American Greetings and Color Craft Corporation, where he served as art director and vice-president for eight years. Bob was one of the organizers of the original 1946 Chagrin Artists Association, now the Valley Art Center. Along with all of his paintings and drawings, Bob illustrated the popular children’s book series “Max & Annie” and was responsible for the design of a 40-foot mural that was on a wall at the West Side Market.
