Anne Dunn (born 4 September, 1929) is an English artist[1] associated with the second generation of the School of London.
Background and education edit
Born in London, England, Dunn is the daughter of the Canadian steel magnate Sir James Dunn, 1st baronet (1874–1956) and his second wife, Irene Clarice Richards, a former musical-comedy actress who had previously been married to Francis Douglas, 11th Marquess of Queensberry.
Dunn studied in London at Chelsea School of Art (1949–50) and at the Anglo-French Centre (1952) before going to the Académie Julian in Paris, France in 1952.[2][3]
Career edit
From 1964 to 1968, she edited the journal Art and Literature with Rodrigo Moynihan, Sonia Orwell and John Ashbery.[citation needed]
In 1990, Dunn had a solo show at the Christopher Hull Gallery in London.[citation needed] Her most recent solo show was in 2005 at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York.[citation needed]
Personal life edit
Dunn's first husband was the artist Michael Wishart (1928–1996); they were married for 10 years before divorcing, and had one son. Michael Wishart's autobiography High Diver (1977) is dedicated to her and gives a picture of the artist as a young woman.[citation needed]
Immediately after she and Wishart divorced in 1960, Dunn married Anglo-Spanish artist Rodrigo Moynihan (1910–1990), as his second wife. They had a son together and Dunn gained a stepson through the marriage. [citation needed]
