He studied initially at the Reading School of Art before attending the Slade (1926-1929). Between 1933-36 he became one of the leading voices of Objective Abstraction; others in the group included Graham Bell, William Coldstream, Rodrigo Moynihan and Geoffrey Tibble. Hubert exhibited regularly with the London Group (1931-47), showed with the Mayor Gallery (1948-53), and was the subject of a retrospective at the ICA in 1958. From the end of the 1940s he lived in the family home in Billingshurst, West Sussex, and following the death of his good friend Jeffrey Tibble in 1952 he lived an increasingly reclusive life.
