Bryan Wynter British, 1915-1975

​In "Landscape Composition" (1953), Bryan Wynter encapsulates the rugged vitality of the Cornish terrain through a synthesis of abstraction and natural form. This oil on canvas exemplifies Wynter's evolution from representational landscapes to a more expressive, gestural abstraction, mirroring the untamed energy of his surroundings. As a prominent figure within the St Ives School, Wynter's work during this period reflects a dialogue between the post-war British art scene and international modernist movements, notably Abstract Expressionism.
