Louis Akin grew up in Portland, Oregon, the grandson of pioneers who had come to the West by way of the Oregon Trail. Akin studied art in New York with Merritt Chase and Frank Dumond before traveling to Arizona to paint the Hopi in 1903. The Hopi pieces were commercially successful and were reproduced as postcards and travel posters.
