Alan (Munro) Reynolds (Born 1926)

A Suffolk born abstract painter, Reynolds studied at Woolwich School of Art before winning a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in the early 1950s. He taught at the Central School and St Martin's School of Art throughout the 1950s and 1960s. A painter of international repute, Reynolds has exhibited worldwide and is represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the National Museum of Canada, the V&A, the Tate, the Fitzwilliam, Cambridge, the Berlin National Gallery and many civic collections worldwide. He came under the influence of Paul Klee after first seeing his work in Germany in the late 1940s, although Reynolds' paintings did not move towards abstraction seriously until 1958.
