Aldro Thompson Hibbard Massachusetts/Vermont (1886-1972) SNOWY LANDSCAPE oil on board, framed, signed: lower left H12" W15" *Artist biography: Aldro T. Hibbard was born August 25, 1886 in Falmouth, Massachusetts, and died in Rockport, Massachusetts November 12, 1972. He studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art School (1909), the Massachusetts College of Art and at the Boston Museum School through 1913 with Edmund C. Tarbell, Frank W. Benson, Leslie P. Thompsen, Joseph R. DeCamp and with Philip Hale at Boston's Museum School. Because he showed such talent the Boston Museum faculty gave Hibbard a Paige Traveling Scholarship (1913-1915) to study abroad. Despite the fact that Hibbard was a remarkably gifted baseball player and was asked to join pro teams, he gave up sports to become a professional painter and instructor. In 1915, Hibbard was instructor of painting at Boston University. He was a Founding Member and Director of the Rockport Art Association (MA) Summer School of Drawing and Painting (1921-1928), which later became The Hibbard School of Painting. He is best known for his post-Impressionistic winter landscapes of New England. He was married to Winifred D. Jackman (5/31/25), and the couple had two children, Malcolm and Elaine.
