Trevor Winkfield was born in Leeds, England in 1944. After studying painting at the Royal College of Art under Peter Blake and Carel Weight, he moved to New York City in 1969. Winkfield's paintings are exhibited regularly, most recently at Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York. His conversations with Miles Champion about his early life have recently been published as How I Became A Painter (Pressed Wafer). His other publications include Trevor Winkfield's Drawings, In the Scissors' Courtyard, Trevor Winkfield's Pageant and a translation of Raymond Roussel's How I Wrote Certain of My Books.
These 19 assembled essays give an artist's eye view of some of the
best paintings in Western history. Winkfield, a painter himself,
walks the reader through the canvas as if it were a real space,
pointing out details the casual observer might miss…. art-lovers
will be charmed by his lyrical writing and delighted by the bounty
of information peppering the text.
