For the Art Department, he also served as Chair and Director of Graduate Studies. He earned his BFA (1951) and MFA (1953) from the Art Institute of Chicago. Richard Plumly, of Fine Arts of Texas gallery in San Antonio, wrote in November 2012 that "Fred Binder Samuelson was also a Texas artist. He lived in Texas and exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Art in the early 60's. Also he was a friend of our family and visited us often in the 60's, 70's & 80's.
