Abstract painter, born Norman Edgar Hubert in Billingshurst, Sussex, and one of the mysterious curiosities of modern British painting. He was at school at Sherborne, and after studying art at University of Reading, 1924–6, was at the Slade School of Fine Art, 1926–9 (gaining a certificate for drawing, 1926–7). Henry Tonks was among his teachers and he shared rooms with William Townsend, in whose journals he appears. Although he socialized with such painters as Geoffrey Tibble, William Coldstream and Rodrigo Moynihan and was involved in the Objective Abstractions group in the mid-1930s, Hubert was a shy man who became a recluse, exhibited little and whose work is generally unknown. He exhibited with the AIA, 1939; in La Jeune Peinture en Grande Bretagne, at La Galerie René Drouin in Paris, 1948, exhibiting four gouache compositions, one lent by the British Council, which organised the show; in the same year having solo show at the Mayor Gallery, where he had begun exhibiting in 1946, offering 20 Compositions, I–XX, “prices on application”.

(34.3 x 53.7 cm.) William Black is a little known and underrated member of the St Ives artist group who, having worked as an architect after the Second World War, went on to work as an artist following the inheritance of money in the early 1950s. He was a self taught artist, producing numerous deconstructivist sculptures in the 1960s. He moved to St Ives in Cornwall where he knew artists such as Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo.
