Edward Hill, American (1843-1923). Born in Wolverhampton, England in 1843, Edward Hill was the ninth of ten children. His family moved to Taunton, MA less than a year after his birth. Though ultimately less well known than his older brother Thomas Hill (1829-1908), Edward was a productive painter in oil and watercolor for more than sixty years, producing images of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, southern genre scenes, still-life paintings, portraits, American Indian pictures, and western views. By the early 1880s Hill's financial success and artistic reputation were well established, largely on the strength of his paintings of the White Mountains. He lived for a time in Nashua, NH, and kept a studio in the town of Littleton. Ever restless and in search of new imagery, however, he also lived and worked at times in Colorado, Utah, and elsewhere in the Southwest throughout the last two decades of the century and the first decade of the next. From 1911 to his death in 1923, the artist lived and painted primarily in the Pacific Northwest. Hill's paintings are diverse in character, in response both to the changing landscapes he experienced and to the changing influences of the artistic times. Lighter, brighter, and slightly more impressionistic in his later career, his canvases remained topographically accurate, and he was unusually receptive among the landscape painters of his day to inclusion of specific human activities in his work. Hill's paintings were exhibited at the San Francisco Art Association,The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Boston Art Club. He is listed extensively in Katherine Campbell's definitive book "New Hampshire Scenery". His paintings are widely collected and are represented in museums as diverse as the Hood Museum at Dartmouth College, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and the Denver Art Museum.
