Some information on the Artist below:

Roy Hilton (1891 - 1963)

 

Roy Hilton was born and educated in Massachusetts and painted summers in Maine before moving to Pittsburgh in 1928. He would take a position as an instructor at the Carnegie Institute's Department of Painting and Design. 

 

Upon arriving in Western Pennsylvania, Hilton joined the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and began entering his works at several of the regional shows where his paintings received several prizes. Later that exhibition record would expand to New York, Washington and Philadelphia. In 1937, he received commissions to paint two murals in the Westfield, New Jersey and Rockymount, Virginia post offices as part of the WPA. 

 

Roy Hilton's style was identified by a strong sense of draftsmanship and the play of light on the precise lines he created. With Pittsburgh's industrial boom surrounding him, it was inevitable that he would find inspiration in the linear aspects of the region's steel mills.​

 

His works can be found in the collections of Westmoreland Museum of American Art, The Steidle Collection at the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State, Greater Latrobe School District and the Pittsburgh Board of Public Education.
