Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

John Piper’s artistic production was as varied as it was exceptional. His early career was defined by romanticized depictions of landscapes and architecture, continuing the stylistic traditions of the likes of JMW Turner and William Blake. The artist turned to abstraction in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as an important voice in early British non-representational art, and in the years following WW2 Piper would branch out to include stage design, stained glass, ceramics and printmaking in his practice.
