"Bryan Wynter drew upon nature as the principal source for his art. From his early neo-romantic landscapes he developed a new style of gestural abstraction that secured his position as one of the leading British artists of the 1950s." "In this, the first monograph on Wynter, the broad range of his output is presented within the context of his life, the issues and phenomena that stimulated his creativity, and the dominant art and ideas of the period."--BOOK JACKET.
