Edna Hibel
[1] In 1988, an article by Tampa Bay Magazine reported that Hibel had painted Abraham Maslow-inspired work for over 50 years.[4] Hibel painted portraits of men and women expressing emotions or contemplating on ceramic, canvas, and Bavarian limestone.In 1995, the National Archives Foundation commissioned Hibel to paint a piece that commemorated the 75th anniversary of women's suffrage in the United States.[6] Author W. David Marx, in his 2022 book Status and Culture, lamented that "at the moment of this writing, there is no Wikipedia page for Edna Hibel, nor does her name appear in standard volumes on art history."[7] Marx argued that Hibel was categorized as a "creator", not an "artist", because of a lack of institutional acceptance from the art world.
