Anthony Curtis was an artist born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, and then went on to study at Loughborough College, and Bath Academy of Art in Corsham in 1952. At this time he was taught by many seminal artists of the 20th Century, including Terry Frost, Bryan Wynter, Peter Lanyon and Kenneth Armitage. He exhibited his work at the Daily Express Young Artist’s Exhibition in 1957 and was included in Jack Beddington’s Young Artists of Promise. He went on to have one man shows at Bear Lane Gallery, Oxford in 1959.
This painting came from the artist’s estate. He was heavily influenced by his St Ives School tutors and many were painted on his frequent visits to Terry Frost and Peter Lanyon in Cornwall.
