Harlan Hubbard celebrated towns, back roads, farms and woodlands
with his paintings of the Kentucky landscape. He and his wife Anna
traveled down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers on a handmade
shantyboat and then returned to Kentucky, where they lived a
self-sustained life on the banks of the river at Payne Hollow for 36
years. His books Shantyboat and Payne Hollow contain his drawings
and woodblock prints, and his river boat paintings were well known.
This exhibit features the landscapes that Harlan Hubbard loved to
paint, during his struggling years as a young artist, his river trip, and
the pioneering years he and Anna spent on the riverbank in Kentucky.
