About the Item
1950s Modern Impressionist Oil On Canvas "circus" by Arnold Benjamin Hodgkins.. Retains original frame .Great use of color.. signed in lower left
Arnold Hodgkins was born 1st March 1911 on a farm in Silverdale Ontario, Canada. From a young age he was deeply interested in all things creative. Encouraged by his mother to draw, paint, and sculpt, he won a few juvenile competitions. When he was 16, on her deathbed, his mother insisted that he continue with his drawings. Following her funeral he went home and wrote his first song called Lonely. He had a close relationship with his father whom he nursed for the next four years until his death. During those years, he developed proficiency at the piano, playing for hours in an attempt to soothe his father’s pain.
On 7th March 1933, he married Iola Houser. Their first child, Gary was born in 1940 and shortly thereafter, Arnold volunteered for the ambulance corps in World War II - to "help stop Hitler from stomping across Europe and accomplishing his madman claims of conquering the world". In his time off-duty, he continued to draw, and returned home with hundreds of sketches.
When he returned from the war, he enrolled in the Ontario College of Art. He graduated in 1948 with the coveted O.C.A. Medal for Proficiency and his oil painting, Portrait of Ballerina, was included in the O.C.A. textbook for future students to learn from. That same year his daughter Carol Hodgkins-Smith was born.
From 1948 – 1953, he operated art studios in Toronto, Ontario
