Thompson Hibbard
By Armand Cabrera
Aldro Thomson Hibbard was born on August 25, 1886
in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Hibbard was a remarkably gifted
baseball player during high school and was asked to join
pro teams. He chose to sacrifice sports to become an artist.
Hibbard studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art School
(1909) and the Massachusetts College of Art. He further
studied with Edmund C. Tarbell, Frank W. Benson, Leslie
P. Thompson, Joseph R. DeCamp and Philip Hale at Boston’s
Museum School. He graduated in 1913. Hibbard was awarded
the $3,000 Paige Traveling Scholarship. After graduation,
Hibbard chose to study in Europe and spent fourteen months
in England, Spain, France and Italy. Hibbard had planned
to stay for two years, but the outbreak of World War I forced
him to return to the United States.

I
have recently toured lecturing on The power to Create,
which is an incredible two-hour conversation on what it
is like to be an artist and how does one create art? The
audience seemed to be moved by what was discussed, and what
a difference this conversation has had on their lives. This
overwhelms me!
