Roger MAYNE (1929-2014)photographsPublished by Jonathan Cape, London Signed twice by the artist and inscribedThis very personal collection of pictures from the painter Rose Hilton's Botallack Moor house are those she kept about her and saw every day. Botallack was her home for 54 years during 10 of which she was married to the older, abstract painter, Roger Hilton. The house with its views across ruined mine workings to the wide sea was formed of a row of miners' cottages that Roger had spotted advertised for sale in The Times, knocked through and modernised to make a home for their young sons Bo and Fergus. Roger brought a few inherited pieces of antique furniture and the austere self portrait painted by his mother as a student at the Slade School of Art. Rose added her own casual decorative touches, described by their friend the poet W.S. Graham as, 'the Beat style.' The artists in this far flung corner of the St. Ives diaspora had always gifted and swapped pieces amongst themselves and as Rose's painting career reignited in the years after Roger's death she began buying and adding to the growing collection at Botallack. The back wall in the little kitchen hung in a stack, edge-to-edge and almost to the ceiling, featured two by Terry Frost, another from Breon O'Casey was above the upright piano, there were landscapes in the bathroom and a 'gallery' corridor wall that she continually rehung with newer works: pieces by Fergus Hilton and her friends Jeremy Le Grice and Frank Phelan, her elder son Bo Hilton (also a painter) and a pair of striking paintings that she had bought as memorials to her old friend the painter Mary Stork. The picture store in the downstairs back room that was Roger Hilton's bedroom cum studio during the last years of his life was full up, too. 'If you're an artist, you're visual, so you usually paint walls white and have flowers and nice materials and things,' Rose said, describing her style.Rose was generous almost to a fault, and when she was not occupied with painting a steady stream of friends, fellow artists and curious visitors filled this hospitable house, art historians, collectors or the regulars of her weekly life drawing classes and older friends who arrived to talk and drink and join in with singing the chapel hymns she knew by heart around the piano that she had bought from the local pub and the fire in the Long Room.
