He attended Shortledge College in Pennsylvania, studied under Howard Hemlock and Edmund Clarence Messer at the Art Students League of Washington and later, completed in 1905, studies with Caludio Castelucho at the Académie Julian in Paris. He died August 13, 1962[2] in Bronxville, New York.[3] FamilyNichols' father, Hobart Nichols Sr., was a noted wood engraver who engraved the sketches in The History of North American Birds by Baird, Brewer and Ridgeway.[4] His mother, Indiana Jay Nichols was skilled at drawing and “interested in all things related to the arts.”[5] Hobart’s brother, Spencer Baird Nichols, was a portrait painter and illustrator. The brothers both married artists and their descendants include painters.[6] Nichols married painter Wilhelmina von Stoschm also of Washington DC, in 1895. They had two daughters, Hildegarde born 1896 and Leonora born in 1897.[5] In 1908 the family moved to New York City. Then in 1910 they bought land in Lawrence Park a growing artists' colony in Bronxville, New York.[7] CareerNichols' began his career as an illustrator for the U.S. Geological Survey where he remained for 15 years building his fine art career in his spare time. Ultimately he became known for his landscapes rendered in oil or watercolor. His grandniece, Barbara Sussman’s description of her great uncle's work repeats the themes of so many of his viewers through his long career “Hobart’s paintings are solid and well executed, and he seldom strayed from the winter landscapes in which he found so much interest in exploring the nuances of light on snow.”[5] Hobart Nichols was known as much for his leadership in the art community as he was for his painting.[8] He was president of the National Academy of Art for ten years and exhibited there, the Salmagundi Club and Grand Central Galleries many times. Today, Nichols’ work is among the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution the National Gallery of Art and the Phillips Collection. Nichols died nearly blind, at the age of 93, August 13, 1962,[9] in Bronxville, twelve years after the death of his younger brother Spencer and eight years after the death of his wife. Awards
