Sybil Gibson
Sybil Gibson (February 18, 1908 – January 2, 1995) was an American painter. Born Sybil Aaron in Dora, Alabama, her father was a wealthy coal mine owner and farmer. She was educated at Jacksonville State Teachers College, earning a B.S. in Elementary Education, before going on to become a teacher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sybil Gibson )〕 The Estate of Sybil Gibson is represented by Woodward Gallery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sybil Gibson )〕
== Career ==
For much of her adult life she had no interest in painting, having had her ambitions crushed when a college art teacher told her she had no talent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sybil Gibson - Biography )〕 However, on Thanksgiving Day 1963, aged 55, Gibson took to creating her own wrapping paper designs using tempera paint and brown paper grocery bags. This led to a fascination with creating art which lasted until her death.〔 Howell Raines wrote in June 1971 that "the paintings are not over-powering, they are truly fragile in the best sense. The colors are very delicate, and while Sybil Gibson's work is figurative, her realism is tempered with a certain dream-like quality." Gibson chose to paint limited subject matter - mainly concentrating on the human form, particularly faces, as well as flowers, birds and small animals〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sybil Gibson (1908–1995) )〕 Her style is considered 'folk art', and she is regarded as an outsider, or naïve artist.〔
In May 1971, shortly before the opening of her first art exhibition, at the Miami Museum of Modern Art, Gibson disappeared, leaving drawings strewn about her yard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sybil Gibson 1908–1995 )〕 An eccentric woman, Gibson disappeared several times.〔 Around 300 of her paintings are believed to exist in museums and private collections, although many more have been destroyed after being strewn around outside her home when she disappeared.〔
Gibson's work has been exhibited in more than fifty one-woman exhibitions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sybil Gibson ) 〕 Her work is featured in the collections of the Museum of Art, Alabama; the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Alabama; the Museum of American Folk Art, New York and the New Orleans Museum of Art in Louisiana.
