“Art must be concerned with the inner truth rather than objective imagery,” said Howard Gibbs. Born in 1904 in New Bedford, where he first studied art, the young Howard Gibbs set off to teach art in Bermuda and then to study in France. Working there during a very fertile period in art history, he exhibited with Matisse, Seurat, and Derain. It was where he found the “seeds of direction” and a broadening effect on his work. But when he returned to Boston and to Brewster on the Cape he developed his unique artistic niche and followed no movement. South Coast Today
