Aldro Thompson Hibbard (August 25, 1886 - November 12, 1972) was a prominent American plein air painter. He was born in Falmouth, MA, but lived most of his life in Rockport, MA. His depictions of snowy landscapes, particularly of Vermont, are highly regarded. Hibbard worked in oil; watercolor just couldn't be used in January & February in the mountains of Vermont. In 1909, Aldro Hibbard entered the Massachusetts Normal Art School (now MassArt). Among his instructors were among Boston's most important artists: Frank Benson, Frederick Bosley and Edmund Tarbell. Hibbard excelled and received a scholarship for further study in Europe upon graduation. It is said that he discovered his talent for snow scenes when caught in a blizzard in the mountains near Madrid. Hibbard was a member of many American art organizations, including the Rockport Art Association, the North Shore Art Association, and many others. He was an Academician in the National Academy of Design. Hibbard influenced many Rockport artists including Emile Gruppe, Tom Nicholas, Paul Strisik, Roger Curtis, and many others. His paintings, which are associated with the Boston School, are in many museums, corporations and other prominent private collections. Aldro Hibbard is building an impressive auction record. His current record at auction occurred on 2/3/12 at Skinner Auctioneers & Appraisers, when 'Winter in New England, Probably a West River, Vermont View', estimated at $25,000-35,000 sold for $88,875. Along with Anthony Thieme, Hibbard is generally regarded as the most expensive 'Rockport' painter at auction. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aldro Hibbard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
