About the Item

Newton Haydn Stubbing, American 1921-1983, semi abstract painting entitled "Gardiners Island," 1975. Oil on canvas. Measures: 18" x 19". Signed lower right en verso. Provenance: Private New York estate. Newton Haydn (Tony) stubbing was born in England but spent much of his life abroad. Firstly, in the late 1940s-1950s in Spain and France, where he began to develop as an artist; then, in later life, he lived between London and America. His hand-print paintings of the 1950s-1960s were the first to earn him an international reputation, Sir Herbert Read chose one as the final image in his influential book A Concise History of Modern Painting, published in 1960. These atmospheric paintings, often on a large-scale, were made with Stubbing’s hands saturated like a living palette. His lyrical and rhythmic arrangements of palm prints foreshadowed the recent mud wall-paintings of Richard Long. In 1949, Stubbing had been inspired to paint with his hands after being profoundly affected by the Prehistoric cave paintings he saw at Altamira in Spain. His own paintings came to have some of the feeling of ritual and mystery evoked by the art of early man. Stubbing also made sculpture, designed furniture and was an inventor and philosopher. Throughout his painting career he made small landscape sketches and when, in his later work, he returned to painting with brushes, he produced abstracted landscapes of luminous, subtly toned expanses of color informed by his ‘nature note’ sketches. Until recently, Stubbing was better known in Europe and the USA, but in the past few years the Tate has acquired two significant works, as have other British collections. In Paris in the 1950s, he showed at the avant-garde Galerie Iris Clert, as did his friend Yves Klein. In America, he exhibited with galleries such as Martha Jackson and Pierre Matisse and he is represented in many American public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Other collections that own works by Stubbing include the Museum of Modern Art, Paris; the Museum of Modern Art, Madrid; the Arts Council of Great Britain and the British Museum. Public collections.
