Arthello Beck Jr. (c.1941-November 5 2004) was an American artist. He often painted scenes of places he'd visited, using a variety of mediums, including oils, watercolors, and charcoal.

Beck was born in Dallas, Texas, and attended Lincoln High School , where he received his only formal art training. Afterwards, he worked for the United States Postal Service, as well as various other jobs before becoming a professional artist.

Possibly known best for his works from the 1960s dealing with the American Civil Rights Movement, although Beck commonly featured other subjects, including children, religion, and human interaction.

A longtime resident of Oak Cliff, Beck was a firm believer in grassroots movements, and established the Arthello Beck Gallery, which became a centerpiece of the Dallas area art scene in the 1970s and 80s, and was instrumental to the careers of many black artists.
