Art Historian Beth Stein introduces artist Howard Gibbs,
Cobb House resident from 1945-1970

“Art must be concerned with the inner truth rather than objective imagery,” said Howard Gibbs.

Born in 1904 in New Bedford, where he first studied art, the young Howard Gibbs set off to teach art in Bermuda and then to study in France. Working there during a very fertile period in art history, he exhibited with Matisse, Seurat, and Derain. It was where he found the “seeds of direction” and a broadening effect on his work. But when he returned to Boston and to Brewster on the Cape he developed his unique artistic niche and followed no movement.
Beth Stein has been educating adult audiences on the lives and works of famous artists for the past fifteen years, on Cape Cod and in New Jersey.  In addition, she is the current Chair of the Development Committee for the BHS.
