Peter Lanyon
Peter Lanyon was born on February 8th, 1918 in St. Ives, Cornwall, England. He was a Cornish painter of landscapes leaning towards the concept of abstraction. He was one of the most important artists to emerge in post-war Britain. He died at a young age, 46, but was considered to be one of the most important and original reappraisals of modernism in painting to be found anywhere. Lanyon combines abstract values with radical ideas about landscape and its figure. He experimented with Constructivism through Abstract Expressionism to a style similar to Pop.
