John Piper (1903-1992)John Piper was born in Epsom. He studied at the Royal College of Art in London, where he met Charles Mahoney, Morris Kestleman and Tom Monnington, all of whom effected a lasting influence on the young artist. Later he joined the group of artists around Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore, Howard Hodgkins and Barbara Hepworth. During the Second World War, Piper painted pictures of bombed out, destroyed buildings. This subject became characteristic for Piper's work after the war. With his colors, textures, and chosen perspectives, Piper produced a deep, gripping impression with his romantic topographies.
