John Piper...Artist

John Piper was born in 1903. John is regarded as one of the major British artists of the 20th Century.

John Piper was the son of a successful London solicitor and studied law until the age of twenty-three years old. John then went to study painting at Richmond School of Art and the Royal College of Art.

From 1926 to 1940 John Piper supplemented his income by reviewing art books and plays and began to make a reputation by illustrating his articles for the Architectural Review with his own drawings. All this time John was active with his painting and in the years 1939-40 they began to sell.

In 1940 John Piper was appointed an official war artist. In 1941 John produced the first series of drawings of Windsor Castle for Her Majesty The Queen Mother and his work became increasingly prized and sought-after.

After the war and in the 1950's John Piper was a Trustee of the Tate Gallery and later of the National Gallery and a member of the Arts Council Art Panel. In 1959 for nineteen years John became a member of the Royal Fine Art Commission and in 1971 he was appointed a Companion of Honour in recognition of his services to art.

Apart from his paintings and graphics John Piper is well known for his stained glass window for Coventry Cathedral the windows for Eton College Chapel and in collaboration with Patrick Reyntiens for Liverpool's Roman Catholic Cathedral.

John Piper worked in the graphics field for many years having started Contemporary Lithographs in 1936 in co-operation with Robert Wellington and the Curwen and Baynard Press. John's association with the Curwen studio has continued and has produced one of the best known suite of lithographs "A Retrospect of Churches" in 1964.

The Tate Gallery held a retrospective of John Piper's work in 1983.
