As found on Portland Oregon art museum site:
David McCosh began his academic career as a teacher at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1931 to 1933. He was commissioned to paint a mural for the Chicago World s Fair Century of Progress. As a WPA artist he also created murals for the Department of the Interior in Washington, D. C. , the Beresford, South Dakota Post Office, and the Kelso, Washington Post Office. He arrived at the University of Oregon to teach art in 1935 and remained there until his retirement in 1970. McCosh had great importance as a teacher and influenced many young artists during his tenure. Leonard Kimbrell said of him, "McCosh leads one to look and teaches one to see. "
