With
the modest elements of this still life, Hill reminds us that simple moments of
grace and beauty can be found in everyday life.
The date range of 1960s-1970s is based on the date of the
donation by the artist to Norman Ives. Efforts to contact the artist for more
specific information were unsuccessful.
Hill studied at Yale University and then taught graphic design and photograph there for twenty years. Among his dynamic group of colleagues were Herbert Matter, Norman Seaton Ives, and Walker Evans. Evans selected Hill as the executor of his estate.
