[1] Born Norman Edgar Hubert on 1 June 1906 in Billingshurst, West Sussex, he spent his boyhood in Clevedon, Somerset.
Henry Tonks was one of his tutors at the Slade and he shared rooms with William Townsend (who wrote of Hubert in his journals and other papers[3]) during his time there.
Between 1933 and 1936, Hubert was a significant figure in the Objective Abstraction movement[5] with Graham Bell, William Coldstream, Rodrigo Moynihan and Geoffrey Tibble.
[10][11] In Paris, his work was shown at the British Council's La Jeune Peinture en Grande Bretagne[12][13] (1948) and the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles (1949).
Hubert was included in the exhibition British Art and the Modern Movement 1930-40 held by the National Museum of Wales Cardiff in 1962.
