"Hubert Shuptrine works in watercolor with a beautiful sense of the sheer, living consequentiality of his subject and with a skill that makes every picture an event to be reckoned with. He is a Beholder. He is able to enter into objects and people and places with the sense of these things entering into him." [James Dickey, Jericho: The South Beheld]

"Hubert Shuptrine (1936-2006) exhibited a love for the subjects he painted—an approach to art he named 'realizations' -- and his subjectivism communicated to viewers far beyond his native South. His nationally recognized watercolors and oils are in over 30 leading museums and institutions...

By 1970, Shuptrine's works would sell out before the gates had even opened. His reputation reached the ears of several fine art museums, and he was invited to exhibit at the Birmingham Museum of Art and The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. It was during this time that Shuptrine relocated his family to Highlands, NC. And in 1974, the artist published his first book Jericho: The South Beheld (Oxmoor House) penned by celebrated author and Poet Laureate of South Carolina, James Dickey. Dickey had just written Deliverance and it was being made into a movie in nearby Toccoa, Georgia. Jericho sold over 1 million copies and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Home to Jericho (1987), the artist's second book, also was award-winning and cemented Shuptrine as an established and renowned watercolor painter."
