Robert Douglas Hunter's distinguished career has spanned more than fifty years. He is an honor graduate of the Vesper George School of Art in Boston. After Vesper, he studied under Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown for two summers and with R. H. Ives Gammell for an additional five years. In 1950, he became an instructor at Vesper George and remained there until 1983. Mr. Hunter also served as an instructor at the School of the Worchester Museum. Like Edmund Tarbell, Frank Benson, Ives Gammell, and Aldro Hibbard, Hunter has also served as president of the Guild of Boston Artists.
Contemporary art historians consider Hunter to be another link in an historic and unbroken chain of master to pupil which began with Ingres and passed through Paul Delaroche, to Jean-Leon Gerome to William Paxton to Ives Gammell to Robert Douglas Hunter.
