Description
Philip Hughes' Notebooks is a unique collection of 27 notebooks created over a quarter of a century. Spanning twenty-five years, these notebooks capture the artist's observations of the natural world, from the geological structure of a place to its relationship with the surrounding landscape. Hughes records moments when he is moved to draw what he can see, whether from a standing stone in Orkney or while sailing through the Norwegian fjords. The notebooks contain a mix of swift sketches and slower studies of lichen, flowers, and other natural features. Pieced together from over 1,000 drawings, this selection offers a logbook of momentary observations that reveal Hughes' depth of feeling and knowledge for different terrains and climates.
