Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard

Writer, artist, and sustainability pioneer Harlan Hubbard (1900-1988) lived an unassuming life, only to find himself embedded in the historical memory of Kentucky. Based on the upcoming, comprehensive biography, Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard, this presentation brings to life the story of a man who, though beloved by his fellow Kentuckians, deserves broad recognition in the disciplines of American landscape painting, writing, and environmental advocacy. Hubbard stands as a rightful heir to the Transcendentalist ethos who, like his revered predecessor Henry David Thoreau, offers a vision for unique and responsible American lives. Author Jessica K. Whitehead guides her audience toward this vision, using rare and engaging resources to illustrate the Hubbard story.
