Edward Piper
Edward Blake Christmas Piper (1938–1990) was an English painter.
Life and career
Edward Piper was the eldest son of the artist John Piper and his wife Myfanwy.[1] He was educated at Lancing College and later studied under Howard Hodgkin at the Bath Academy of Art in Corsham and later at the Slade School of Art in London.[2][3]
Piper produced photographs for the Shell County Guides and also undertook graphic design commissions to make a living. However, his real passion was figurative art and painting female nudes in particular. Later he painted landscapes, in Corsica, Malta, France, Italy and Spain.
A number of Piper's lithographs and screenprints are to be found in the Tate Gallery collection.[4]
Piper's son Luke Piper is also a painter and his younger son Henry Piper is a sculptor.[5]
Edward Piper died in June 1990 of cancer at the age of 51.[1]
