Landscape artist
Aldro Thompson Hibbard discovered the state of Vermont When he was a young man, and his
subject matter never strayed far from winter scenes for the next half century.
Much of his work depicts Vermont's covered bridges, ox teams, sugar houses and towns
tucked down in snowy mountains. Hibbard consistently drew inspiration from
winter landscapes--boats abandoned on the shoreline and waiting for the spring thaw, people
bundled in wool and cutting ice from a frozen river.
Aldro Hibbard is also known for landscape paintings done around
his home in Rockford, Massachusetts, along the New England coastline, and in the Canadian
Rockies. He produced a large body of work during a long career, much of it concerned
with sensitivity to light and shadow.
Born in 1886 in Falmouth, Massachusetts, Aldro Hibbard spent his
boyhood on Cape Cod and in Boston. He studied at Boston's museum School, where he
was a pupil of De Camp, Major and Tarbell. On a page traveling scholarship from the
Boston school, Hibbard went to Europe.
When he returned to the United States in 1915, he discovered the
aesthetic qualities of Vermont. Thereafter, he spent every winter in that state,
painting in the area around the West River Valley. He returned every spring to his
studio in Rockport with a car crammed with canvases, many of them painted on doors in
the middle of winter.
Aldro T. Hibbard's work is picturesque and full of an innocent love for life and people.
He was an avid baseball fan. He died in 1972.
