Robert Chester La Follette (March 31, 1897 in Pullman, Washington – May 24, 1993 in White Plains, New York), was an American painter.
He was the son of Congressman William La Follette and nephew of educator, industrialist Harvey Marion LaFollette.
Chester completed his early education in Pullman and continued high school in Washington DC when his family relocated there.
The two LaFollette families shared a large house that the Congressman had purchased, and Chester spent his teen age years in the midst of lively discussions of the great events of the day.
When he returned to New York, he married a talented pianist from Oregon, Dorothea Anderson, and together they ran a musical studio in their Central Park West apartment for the next thirty years.
