ISSUE 425 | 26 APRIL 2018 | 24 Threlkeld Railway Path Campaign: IN MEMORY OF DEREK HYATT
A private donation was kindly made for us to plant a tree in memory of former Tutor Derek Hyatt, considered worthy of an Obituary in both the Guardian and Telegraph, who passed at the age of 84 back in 2015. It is not surprising why such a figure in the world of art should still be remembered after several years by those who were fortunate enough to encounter him.
Hyatt was influential as an artist and tutor, across several dimensions.
Several people have talked about him here at Higham, even though he stopped coming a while back. What is clear, is that many existing art tutors would give their favourite paintbrush set if they could garner just a quarter of the status that Derek Hyatt earned during his lifetime. His mark still reminds us of what a true artist can be -
one who perceives qualities which the rest of us can miss.
The attractive Whitebeam (Sorbus aria) tree was carefully selected by our gardener and should grow in years to come to provide a visual interest for artists. It won't grow too high but will change through the seasons. It is situated between the back of the Hall and the rear car park which used to be the tennis court - graced many times, apparently, by Derek!
The dedication at the foot of the tree reads: ‘In memory of Higham art tutor Derek Hyatt finding new depth in everything we cast our eyes upon’.
Our gratitude goes to the generous (anonymous) donors, not just because it has provided something for the future but also because it helps remind us what true lifelong learning has been about in the past.
