Bryan Wynter

Brayane Herbert Wynter (8 September 1915 – 2 February 1975)[1] was one of the St. Ives group of British painters.

In the Second World War he was a conscientious objector, first working on land drainage in Oxfordshire, then looking after monkeys being studied by the zoologist Solly Zuckerman.

[2] The work had been acquired by the pop star David Bowie in 1995 at the sale of the collection of Sir John Moores.

In 2001 he was the subject of Bryan Wynter: A Selected Retrospective at Tate St Ives.

Using a parabolic mirror, he would hang contrasting pairs of painted shapes, which rotated freely.
