Eric Hesketh Hubbard
Hampshire Landscape 20th Century Oil Original Railway Artwork

About the Item

Eric Hesketh Hubbard 1892 - 1957 Hampshire Landscape Oil on canvas, signed bottom left Image size: 24 x 18 inches (61 x 46 cm) Contemporary style hand made frame This painting was created for the Southern Railway publicity department as a possible poster design. In 1944 the artist was commissioned by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway to create several works that would be used in travel posters for Ireland and the United Kingdom. As well as Hampshire Hubbard created works depicting Padstow, New Forest, Exmoor, Dorchester and Dartmoor. Hubbard has conveyed the sentiments of the Hampshire landscape through gently rolling hills dotted with deciduous trees and a winding river. The scene shows a small hamlet with slate and thatched roofs. The inhabitants of these building seem hard at work and can be seen digging in the vegetable patches, refilling the barns and attending to the bees in their hives. Hubbard's use of flat colour, choice of subject and treatment of the landscape lend a sense of everyday familiarity to the composition. The Artist Hubbard was a painter, printmaker, furniture designer, writer and lecturer. He studied at Heatherley's School of Fine Art, Croydon School of Art and Chelsea Polytechnic. Hubbard was the founder and director of The Forest Press; for a time master of the Art Worker' Guild and the author of over a dozen books including 'A Hundred Years of British Painting 1851-1951'. He was a member of many societies connected with painting and printmaking in Britain and overseas and was the President of the Royal Society of British Artists. One of the artist's main aims was to make art accessible to ordinary people.

  • Spring in Dorset, 20th Century English Oil Landscape, Female Artist
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on board Image size: 12 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches (31.75 x 40 cm) Contemporary style handmade frame Exhibitions 1952 Royal Academy of Arts Exhibition, Gallery no. VII, no.429. This forest scene invites the viewer into a multi-sensory event where the cool, damp shadows of the foliage can almost be felt and the rich bouquet of the forest floor recalled. Here, Sherlock has chosen a somewhat unusual angle and composition, dissecting each truck and tree form so that only a part can be seen. Furthermore, as we look into the depths of this space it becomes clear that we are stood gazing down into a valley that is in the distance, behind this wooded area. Indeed, instead of giving us an uninterrupted view of this vista, as perhaps would be expected, this view is deliberately blocked and our focus is directed instead towards the organic forms in the foreground. The Artist  Marjorie Sherlock was born at Fir Tree Cottage, George Lane, Wanstead, Essex, on 3 February 1891, the elder child of the civil engineer, Henry Sherlock, and his wife, Alice (née Platts), who was born in Benares, India. By 1901, the family was living at ‘The Limes’, 121 Mill Road, Cambridge, and Marjorie received an education locally. In 1918, she entered into marriage with her cousin, Major Wilfrid Barrett, though this proved unsuccessful and they later divorced (he remarrying in 1941). She then continued to live at the family home until the Second World War. During the First World War, Marjorie Sherlock studied at Westminster Technical Institute under the Camden Town School painters, Walter Sickert and Harold Gilman. She exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts from 1917, when she showed a powerful view of the interior of Liverpool Street Station (Government Art Collection) (to which the current etching [202] relates). In time, she would exhibit at the International Society, the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Society of 207 Graphic Art and the Women’s International Art Club (becoming a member of the last two). She also showed work internationally. Developing as a printmaker as well as a painter, Sherlock studied etching under Malcolm Osborne at the Royal College of Art in 1925. She published her etchings in four series, the titles of which indicate her love of travel: ‘English Etchings, ‘Egyptian Etchings’ (both 1925), ‘German Etchings’ (1929) and ‘Indian Etchings’ (1932). During this period, she also visited the united States. More admiring of Continental painters than British ones, she furthered her studies, in 1938, by working in Paris under André L’Hôte and André Dunoyer de Segonzac. During the Second World War, Sherlock moved to East Devon and settled at Oxenways, a Victorian hunting lodge...
