Charles Hobson, Six Hammers #4, 1988
monotype with pastel
21 x 16 in.

Born in 1943 in Bridgehampton, New Jersey, Charles Hobson received a B.A. from Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 1965, a Bachelor of Law from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, in 1968, and a B.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1988. Hobson's prints have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in California. He uses the monotype primarily as an underpainting or sketch upon which he builds his images with pastel and graphite. In the late 1980s Hobson explored the theme of tools in a series of monotypes.
