Born in New York in 1927, Earl Hill spent much of his youth in Bells Mill, a small town in rural Virginia. He returned to New York to attend New York University, where he studied art with Hale Woodruff. He graduated in 1951 with a degree in education and went on to obtain his Master’s degree from the City College of New York in 1960. Hill taught art appreciation in public schools in New York, Baltimore, and the Virgin Islands while continuing to study painting at a variety of institutions. Hill’s work from the 1960s emphasizes the humanity of ordinary individuals and their experiences. His work features figures isolated by a nonspecific background engaged in everyday activities such as gardening, sitting, or quiet thinking. There is no content to distract the viewer from the figure that fills the frame. Hill retired from teaching in 1984, a year before his death.

Ozymandias (unique, signed Abstract Expressionist painting by renowned painter)
By Ben Wilson
Located in New York, NY
Ben Wilson Ozymandias, 1989 Oil on masonite board Boldly signed by Ben Wilson on the back 36 × 48 inches Unframed Provenance: acquired from the Estate of Ben Wilson This work is titled "Ozymandias" after the famous sonnet written by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822). Shelley's poem is one of the most poignant meditations on the fleeting nature of human power and the inevitability of decline. The poem serves as a reminder that time erodes even the most imposing empires and leaders and that the pursuit of lasting fame and control is ultimately futile.

Shelley's poem Ozymandias reads: I met a traveler from an antique land...
