A walkthrough of paintings by British artist John Hubbard at his family estate in Chilcombe, West Dorset. Works span from 1966 to 2003, including Light Study Cliff, Sea Coast, and the Cogden Mere series, mostly oils and charcoals of Dorset landscapes and gardens. The speakers note how repeated viewing reveals details you miss the first time.
Okay, so that one is, um, Light Study Cliff, 1966, 152, 177 centimeters. This one is Sea Coast, again 1966, oil on paper. This one is Lime Bay, 1966, oil on canvas, 177127. Dorset landscape, 1967. Below Stonebarrow, 1968, oil on canvas, 101122. It's got some really interesting brushwork in it. Hello. Abbotsbury Gardens, 1968, 101, 122. This is— Arwich Garden, 1933, charcoal on paper. A quick look at this lovely gallery. John Hubbard's estate, now run by his family.
But I mean, once— I guess once it's there, you know, it just spreads.
Cogden Mere.
Yeah, Ben was saying how he really noticed when he was driving here the other night, all along the hedgerows, how many dead trees there were. I saw a dead serpent. I hadn't really sort of— but actually I hadn't noticed that, and then once you start looking, you really notice. Anyway, not much to be done. I'll get some milk.
These are Cogden number 2 1998-2003, charcoal on paper. Tesla number 1. No, 2003. Some of them seem to be more figurative. Than others. I think it's another chisel, number 2, 2003. West Milton Hills, 1991. West Milton Hills up there and shadows West Milton down below. Hard to see his form without reflections. And then Reflections, Chesil, 2001.
