Robert Kennedy Abbett (January 5, 1926 – June 20, 2015) was an American artist and illustrator. ==Biography== Abbett was born in 1926 in Hammond, Indiana. During the late-1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Robert Abbett, also credited as Bob Abbett, illustrated book covers for war novels, detective novels, thrillers, historical fiction and science fiction. Today, Abbett is best known for his paintings of wildlife (in particular, dogs), wilderness, sporting, and fishing. His illustrations have been featured in a large number of books, magazines, and advertising. He has also authored or been featured in several art-related books, including ''A Season for Painting: The Outdoor Paintings of Robert K. Abbett'' and ''Wings from Cover: The Upland Images of Robert Abbett and Ed Gray''. Abbett is a graduate of both the University of Missouri and Purdue University. In 1953, Abbett moved to rural Connecticut where he built a house on an old farm (namely, Oakdale Farm〔Abbett illustrated books for Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs wrote a novel called ''The Oakdale Affair''.〕). There, Abbett was inspired by the untouched wilderness and forests, and began painting what he has become famous for today: animals and countrylife. He died on June 20, 2015 at the age of 89 in Bridgewater, Connecticut.〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newstimes/obituary.aspx?pid=175520831〕 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「Robert K.
