About the Item
Clinton Hill, who lived in SoHo, New York, was a frequent Gallery visitor. Born in Idaho and raised on a working ranch, he joined the US Navy during World War II and became a commander of a minesweeper in the Pacific. After the war, on the GI Bill, he attended the University of Oregon, Eugene, graduating in 1947. Moving to New York City with his partner Alan Tran, Hill attended the Brooklyn Museum School from 1949 to 1951. In 1951 Hill studied at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere, Paris, and the Instituto d'Arte Statale, Florence. He was still in Italy in 1952.
His first of many, many one-man shows was at the Zabriskie Gallery, NYC, in 1955. His friend Mark Rothko suggested its title, Ladders and Windows. In 1956 he traveled to India on a Fulbright scholarship. Through his prints, sculpture, books, hand-made objects, and lifetime of experimentation of materials, he pushed the boundaries of Abstraction. He taught in the Art Department of Queens College, NY, for twenty years. His work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Brooklyn Museum, and the Albright-Knox Museum of Art, Buffalo, NY, the Smithsonian America Art Museum, Washington, DC, and the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum, London.
This is an early drawing, mounted to a support sheet, and signed and dated at lower right-hand corner.
Although it is first an abstraction, the annotation 'FL' implies Florence, Italy, and that suggests a landscape.
