Derek Hyatt (1931-2015)

Landscape painter, draughtsman, teacher and writer, born in Ilkley, Yorkshire. He studied at Leeds College of Art, 1948–52, then at the Royal College of Art, 1954–8, where he edited the Ark magazine. From 1959–64 Hyatt was a visiting lecturer at Kingston College of Art, then returned to Yorkshire. He was a lecturer at Leeds College of Art, 1964–8, then senior lecturer at Leeds Polytechnic, 1968–84. Hyatt had many solo exhibitions.

His main subject was the Yorkshire landscape, especially from one vantage point high above Bishopdale. He believed that “the landscape enters our bodies … we dance its life.” Hyatt’s work is held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Contemporary Art Society, the Nuffield Foundation and many British provincial galleries.
