Forrest Hibbits (1905-1996)

Copyright c 1988 a. Paul Cartier
Born in Lompoc, California, 1905. Died 1996.

Forrestt Hibbits was both a highly accomplished fine artist and a commercial artist in the Bay Area from the 1920s onward. Hibbits was a graduate of the California College of Arts and Crafts. There he was close friends with San Francisco artist, Clyde F. Seavey (also represented in the Lost Art Salon Collection). The two of them later worked together at the illustration and advertising offices of Patterson & Sullivan in the 1920s and 1930s. They were an integral part of a vibrant community of artists and creatives living in San Francisco between the World Wars. Hibbits was married to fellow artist, Marie Jaans Hibbits.

During World War II he was an illustrator for the U.S. Air Force. He participated in exhibitions in most western art museums including the San Francsico Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), The de Young Museum, The Oakland Museum of Art, and The Legion of Honor (San Francisco).

He received numerous awards. Among them, California State Fair, 1966 and the Orange County National Water Color Show, 1967. He is also known for designing one of the posters used for the 1939 World's Fair on Treasure Island in San Francisco.

A member of the California National Water Color Society, he is included in the permanent collection of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Long Beach Museum of Art.
