Biography:
Edward Hicks was a primitive painter from Bucks County, Pennsylvania who began working as a coach and sign painter. He was also a Quaker and devoted much of his life to preaching his religion’s way of life. His joy of painting contrasted with the grave notions of Quaker life and caused Hicks inner conflict over the morality of his hobby. He produced farm and landscapes scenes but his remembered for his versions of the Peaceable Kingdom.
