Edna Hibel (January 13, 1917 – December 5, 2014) was an American artist. She painted for most of her life. Her work was once held at the Hibel Museum of Art; some of it now resides at Beloit College in Wisconsin.
Early life and education
Hibel, born around the end of World War I, began to study watercolors when she was nine years old.[2] According to her daughter, Hibel began painting after she finished her math schoolwork early.[3] Hibel graduated from Brookline High School and enrolled at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, which she graduated from in 1939.[2][3] She also studied in Mexico on a fellowship.[3]
Career
In 1988, an article by Tampa Bay Magazine reported that Hibel had painted Abraham Maslow-inspired work for over 50 years.[4] She started working on lithographs in 1966.[2] Hibel painted portraits of men and women expressing emotions or contemplating on ceramic, canvas, and Bavarian limestone. The limestones were 3 to 6 inches thick, polished, and grained. Hibel painted on the limestones with wax pencils, crayons, or inks made from grease. The final result was pressed onto paper as a lithograph that was signed by Hibel and then numbered.[4] She also created porcelain lithography. In 1995, the National Archives Foundation commissioned Hibel to paint a piece that commemorated women having the right to vote since 1975.[2] Hibel was the first female artist to paint in 10 different decades.[5]
Author W. David Marx, in his 2022 book Status and Culture, lamented that "at the moment of this writing, there is no Wikipedia page for Edna Hibel, nor does her name appear in standard volumes on art history."[6] Marx argued that Hibel was categorized as a "creator", not an "artist", because of a lack of institutional acceptance from the art world.[6]
Death
Hibel died on December 5, 2014, at age 97 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.[3] Hibel's art was held at the Hibel Museum of Art on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Jupiter, Florida, until 2018, due to lease disagreements after Hibel's death. Some of her works were transferred to the Wright Museum of Art at Beloit College in Wisconsin.[7]
