Peter Arthur Hutchinson (born 1930) is a British-born artist living in the United States. Hutchinson is part of the Land Art movement.[1]

Biography[]

A native of London, Hutchinson moved to the United States in 1952 and received his BFA in painting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1960.[1] In 1981 he moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he still lives.[2]

Hutchinson has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and The Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Foundation.[3] His artwork is in museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art, Centre Georges Pompidou, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Basel.[4]

Artistic style[]

Hutchinson is known for his photo-based conceptual artworks in which he documents his ephemeral interventions on the landscape. These interventions often utilize flowers, food, and found objects to interact with the landscape, including the ocean, mountains, fields, and other natural environments. Photographs of these interventions are accompanied by handwritten text describing the work, along with the date that the work occurred.[5]
