Robert R. Bliss (1925 - 1981), was an American painter, born in Newton, MA., who attended school at Bowdoin College, Maine, and was drafted into military service during World War II.  At that time, he started to create his first figurative paintings, which were self-portraits.  After being discharged, Robert Bliss studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and with Carolyn Wyeth in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.  In 1951, he became the art educator and gallery director at Deerfield Academy, Deerfield, MA.  Leaving teaching, in 1964, he settled in Hull, Massachusetts, where he befriended and studied with the artist Samuel Rose (1941-2008). In the following years, he created most of his body of work, which he sold through local galleries, which many today are recording rising values at Sotheby’s and Christie’s alike
