Description
Over a decade has passed since Philip Hughes first chanced upon a notebook whose shape and rough, recycled paper provided him with new inspiration for his drawing and painting - ‘I was captivated by the rough texture of the paper, by the book’s shape, indeed by the whole idea of working in a notebook, something I had never done before.’ Many striking images of the beautiful landscapes he has encountered on his travels, from the South Downs in Sussex and the Lubéron in the south of France to Bungle Bungle and Cabbage Tree Creek in Australia, are included here. Philip Hughes has regular one-man shows in London and France, and has been the subject of retrospectives in Scotland and Paris. He is Chairman of the Trustees of the National Gallery, London, and was appointed CBE in 1982.
