Bern Hill

American, (1911–1977)
A free-lance illustrator and painter, Bern Hill is known for his aesthetically innovative and historically important railroad illustrations and for his regional scene painting of Connecticut where he lived for much of his career. He had a unique style that combined abstraction with realism the used contrasts of light and dark and vast, unusual visual perspectives and panoramic landscapes either in harmony with or threatened by human-made objects.
