Charles "Li" Hidley

Charles "Li" Hidley
(1921-2003)

*Check out Hidley's Watercolors at the bottom of the page!

In 1979, Hidley began teaching expressionist painting classes at the Art Association of Harrisburg, and a group of loyal students quickly embraced his teaching style. Known derisively by the realists as "Hidley's People", this group of daring expressionists began exhibiting together and entering regional shows. The expressionists, including Hidley himself, began capturing top prizes in area juried exhibitions. The watercolor landscapists accused Hidley of "taking over The Art Association". A number of them left, and a new era was born in Harrisburg.

Before he died, Hidley gave all his remaining work to The AAH to exhibit and offer for sale. The powerful expressionist paintings are primarily figurative, filled with Jungian and mythological allusions.
