Born in St Ives Lanyon remained loyal to the town, its artistic community and his peers through his early and later career. Working with and under Ben Nicholson, and also with the tutelage of Victor Pasmore, before joining the RAF and deployment to the theatre of war around the Western Desert. Returning to Britain Lanyon taught in Bath, he had his first solo show at the Lefevre Gallery in 1950 and his first in the USA in 1957 where he enjoyed meeting Mark Rothko and studying his work. Lanyon latterly developed a view and study of the English landscape tradition. American art influenced him by adding a liberation and looseness to his work. Allegedly it was gaining perspective on the visualisation of landscapes that led him to training successfully as a glider pilot and thus to the later accident which ended his life so early. on the COVER P eter Lanyon at Belgrave St Ives
