DescriptionMarshall Hibbard was born in Niantic, Illinois in 1910, and by the 1930s was living and working as a freelance and commercial artist in San Francisco. This atmospheric oil painting from the late ‘40s depicts railroad tracks leading to a looming red grain elevator. A storm has just occurred, and the tracks are flooded. The workers may be trying to move sacks of grain to a dryer area. Hibbard left California in the 1950s to become art director at the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan.On View
