- George_Snow_Hill abstract "George Snow Hill (1898-1969) was a painter and sculptor in the United States. He is best known as a muralist. He lived in St. Petersburg, Florida until his death in 1969. He founded the Hill School of Art in St. Petersburg in 1946.Snow Hill was born in Munising, Michigan in 1898. He studied naval engineering and architecture at Lehigh University from 1917 until 1918, before graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1923 from Syracuse University where met his wife Polly Knipp Hill. They studied in Paris together in the 1920s and were married there. She did etchings.He went to Paris on a Fellowship at the Acadamie Colarossi and the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere and had a studio in the city. His work was shown at the Salon des Artistes Francaise from 1923 until 1929 and he had a one-man exhibition at Simonson Galleries in Paris in 1924. In 1924 he also exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, England.He came home to the United States in 1929 and worked as a portraitist in New York City before establishing a studio in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1932.Snow Hill's style has been compared to that of Thomas Hart Benton, who was New Deal muralist as well as John Stuart Curry and Grant Wood. Hill's figures, like those in the Mannerist style, are elongated. His scenes include action.Some of his work was done for the Works Progress Administration. A commission for work in a Clearwater courtroom was stopped by a Judge John U. Bird in 1934 because he did not want "pictures of sunbathers with brassiere-type bathing suits hanging over my bench." Another of his murals was torn in 1966 by an activist Joseph Waller (who later changed his name to Omali Yeshitela) because the mural of white sunbathers and black entertainers on the beach "depicts Negroes in a most despicable, derogatory manner." Add objections arose in 1998 over a bare breast in a mural at the Coast Guard station in St. Pete. Hill's painting at the Madison Post Office was also controversial when a postmaster raised concerns over the depiction of all-white supervisors and black workers alongside white workers.He produced five murals for the Pinellas County Courthouse in Clearwater, Florida depicting county history. Hung in the Clearwater city auditorium, they became lost after the building was razed in the 1960s. He did two St. Petersburg scenes, of the pier and a picnic, for City Hall. African American community leaders later objected to the depictions of black musicians in “Picnicking at Pass-a-Grille. After it was torn the painting was lost after the vandal's trial. He also painted a mural in the St. Pete Coast Guard building's wardroom depicting the service's history. A 1933 Chicago World's Fair painting moved to the Florida State Capitol has also been lost, as well as murals for and post offices in Florida and Alabama. Murals at Tampa's Peter O. Knight Airport were damaged when they were removed pending the airports demolition. His aeronautical paintings included one showing Tony Jannus' famous flight from St. Petersburg to Tampa. Several of the murals have been restored and are on display at the Tampa International Airport. He signed his paintings C.S. Hill. He had a son George Jr. His wife died in 1989. Myers Fine Art and Auction House purchased George Snow Hill's in 1990.".
