Roger Winter is an American artist, teacher and writer.
He was born August 17, 1934, in Denison, Texas, the youngest of eight children. [1] Winter was the first in his large original family to attend college. [2] In 1952 he left Denison to study art at the University of Texas in Austin. [3] After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts and serving two years in the U.S. Army, [4] he moved to Iowa City, Iowa to earn an MFA in painting from the University of Iowa. [5] He then applied for and received a Max Beckmann Memorial Scholarship for study at the Brooklyn Museum School in New York. [6]
As a painter, Winter has explored many approaches to balancing illusion and abstraction in his work. [7] Winter's recent work shows the influence of his daily experience of architecture and ongoing construction in New York. [8] His time spent in the minimal landscapes of New Mexico and Iceland has simplified his painted edges and divisions of canvas space. [9] Winter's painterly brush work and his belief in the importance of luminosity appear to be surviving elements from the past. [10]
Winter taught painting and drawing for 10 years at the now defunct art school of the Dallas Museum of Fine Art. [11] [12] While living in Dallas, he also taught from 1963 to 1989 at Southern Methodist University's (SMU's) Meadows School of The Arts. [13] [12]
Winter currently shows his work at Gerald Peters Contemporary in Santa Fe, New Mexico [14] and Kirk Hopper's Gallery of Fine Art in Dallas, Texas, [15] and Tara Downs Gallery in New York, New York.
Winter is married to children's book author and illustrator, Jeanette (Ragner) Winter. [16] They currently live and maintain studios in New York City. They have two sons. [17] [18]
