Hector Hill was a Harlem-born painter, jazz thinker, and social activist whose work bridged Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. He showed at the Fulton Art Fair — co-chaired by Jacob Lawrence — earned a Smithsonian entry, and was on the ascent when he died at 29 in 1963. His daughter is now doing what should have been done decades ago: conserving his paintings, building a retrospective, and making sure the world finally knows his name.
