Many of his paintings, etchings and drawings feature aspects of the Cornish landscape, particularly the area around St Just.
[1] Haughton was born in London, spent his early childhood in India and later studied painting at the Slade School.
After 'discovering' St Just while on a bicycle ride with Kit Barker, a friend and artist,[2] Haughton wrote: The turning point in my life occurred when I first discovered the town of St. Just.
But I do know that it was all important and unutterably beautiful, a trance that went beyond logic but never against it, and that I was at home and everything was mine, loving and tender, the landscape and houses a living thing.
Selected one man exhibitions: Selected group exhibitions: Haughton's work is held by the Arts Council Collection, Derbyshire County Council, the Kyffin Art Collection at the National Library of Wales, Newnham College, Cambridge, the Towner Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and other organisations.
