Brian Wynter was born in 1915 in London and died in 1975. He studied at Westminster School of Art and Slade School.
A member of the London Group, Wynter lived near St. Ives, Cornwall from 1945 and was a member of the Penwith Society to which both Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson belonged. He painted in oil, watercolour and gouache, mostly the Cornish landscape with its stone walls and cottages, harbours and china clay workings. His work was generally less abstract than Coastal Landscape which, incidentally, is not a ‘true’ watercolour as the lightest tones are opaque colour.
Wynter is represented in the Tate Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Victoria and Albert Museum and provincial galleries.
