“A. T. Hibbard’s Vermont landscapes are all about snow, light, and shadow,”
says Robin Starr, director of American and European art at Skinner Auctioneers & Appraisers. “He was constantly playing with aspects of light and temperature and how they affect each other: winter light on snow, with a little violet thrown in; sunlight illuminating ice on a pond, with water moving below it; bright sunlight on a crisp day and how it differs from late-afternoon light in the middle of a pine forest.”
Hibbard’s ability to detect and portray these subtle differences in tone, texture, and temperature made his oil canvases exceptional. He achieved realness by spending long hours painting outdoors–no small feat in wintry Vermont–enabling him to capture the fleeting light and exaggerated shadows that come only from nature, and only during the bleakest months of the year.
Aldro T. Hibbard, the painter, (1886-1972) “played baseball during the summer in Rockport, MA, and painted in East Jamaica, VT, during the winter,”–according to his granddaughter, Marrin Hibbard Robinson. One of the few plein air artists who relished the cold, Hibbard was fascinated by the light and shadows that played across the snow, the waters, and the mountains of Vermont.
Increasingly in demand over the years, Hibbard’s original oil paintings are found in many museums and prominent private collections.
These Arlo Hibbard prints had formerly been on sale in Hibbard’s Rockport, MA art studio. Although they are copies of originals, they are quite charming and depict Hibbard at his best in Vermont. NOTE: These prints are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced. Supplies are limited.
