Hubert Buel (American, 1915-1984) was born in Sacramento, California. In the early 1930s, he studied watercolor painting with Alexandra Bradshaw at Fresno State College then continued his art education at the University of California, Los Angeles. He had a successful career as an animator for Walt Disney, teacher at Long Beach College, and with the San Francisco Chronicle, which he joined in 1938 and after World War II, serving as Art Director. His amusing illustration, The Wonderful World of Animals, was nationally syndicated.

As a fine-art painter, he had a specialty of watercolor, and he won his first painting award at age nine at the Fresno County Fair. He did post-graduate work at UC-Berkeley, Mills College, University of Southern California, and Fresno State College.

On Chronicle assignments, he painted throughout the United States, Europe, and in the Pacific, he did a series of paintings including views of Bora Bora and Tahiti. During World War II, he was a naval officer in the Pacific and did a number of watercolors of military encounters. After the war, he worked at Twentieth Century-Fox Studios as a set designer and then took a permanent job as art director at the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper. He continued to paint, mostly on location, until shortly before his death on May 16, 1984 in San Francisco.
