Joseph Guy Lubbock (1915-1929) moved to Suffolk in 1963, around the time he turned his full attention to painting and writing. His work drew on the beauty of the Suffolk landscape of his home near Woodbridge: the river, reed beds and marshes, the shingle banks and beaches. His travels to the remoter parts of the world, including the Himalayas, the Galapagos Islands and the Antarctic, were also a great influence on his work
