Mr. Hauschild was born in Queens, N.Y., Dec. 1, 1941, the son of the late Albert C. and Mildred (Seely) Hauschild. His father, a successful New York City/Manhattan based commercial artist, often worked in his home studio, giving Bob full access to paint, paper, and brushes…a kid in a candy shop! Learning his technical painting skills at an early age, he considered himself to be largely self-taught and his early playground was the land of the Hudson River with ferries, tugs, railroads, bridges, and lighthouses. It is no wonder that his favorite paintings would include what he knew, saw, and enjoyed as a child.
Bob was an Army veteran who served in Vietnam. He retired from the U.S. Post Office as a rural carrier working primarily in the Stonington/Pawcatuck offices.
Bob was a man of strong opinions and convictions. He was passionate about all aspects of his art, be it through teaching, judging, or exhibiting. Another of his passions was trains and several of his most dramatic pieces are intricate watercolors of steam locomotives. He was the cover artist of Locomotive Quarterly for eight years.
Watercolor was his medium of choice, but in recent years, he enjoyed working with acrylics. Hallmarks of his paintings are hard edges, dramatic shadows and stark contrasts between dark and light falling upon the surface of the canvas. His work has been described as surreal and mystical in style and subject.
Bob’s paintings have been reproduced on four New London Main Street posters, two of his works appeared on the cover and back plate of the Historic Waterfront District Map & Guide of New London. He was active in the local art community, donating his works to local nonprofits, and teaching art classes through New London Adult Education.
He was a member of many art societies and exhibited throughout the region including one man shows at Alexey von Schlippe Gallery, Mystic Arts Center, Slater Art Museum, Mystic Seaport, and Oliver Jensen Gallery at Valley Railroad, Essex, CT.
Studio 33 Art & Frame Gallery has represented the life’s work of Robert J. Hauschild since 2012.
