Robert Reynolds Hewitt

Robert Reynolds Hewitt
American 1923-2010

Robert Hewitt was an avid Contra Dancer. He used his love and experience of the dance as subject matter to capture the essence of motion in his dynamic paintings.

“A native of Denver, he returned there after his World War II Navy service to complete his undergraduate and Masters of Fine Arts and mathematics at the University of Denver. He taught drawing and painting at Notre Dame University and San Jose State, worked as a civilian engineer for the Department of Defense, and was recruited into the nascent semiconductor industry.

Throughout his long and varied career, the one constant was painting. Wherever he was, he painted, from within naval vessels, to the kitchen surrounded by small children, to his sickroom as he recovered from illness, to his garage studio in Monterey.”
