The artist Glyn Warren Philpot

  • British painter and sculptor.
  • Known mainly for his portrait paintings.
  • Painted in the tradition of symbolism.

Glyn Warren Philpot was born in London on October 5, 1884. The British painter and sculptor is best known for his portraits. At the age of 15, he went to the then Lambeth School of Art (now the City and Guilds of London Art School) and studied with the English painter Philip Connard, among others. He also studied at the Académie Julian in Paris and converted to Roman Catholicism during this time. In 1904, his first exhibition was held at the Royal Academy in London, and many more were to follow. In 1913 he was awarded the gold medal of the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. Soon after, he served in the British infantry in World War I until 1917.

Philpot enjoyed his greatest artistic successes, which peaked in the 1920s, as a portraitist. He enjoyed a comfortable income, which enabled him to paint less commercially successful subject paintings and to travel to various places such as France, Italy, the USA and North Africa.

From 1927 he was a curator at the Tate Gallery and had a solo exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 1930. From 1923 to 1935 Philpot had a relationship with the English soldier, poet and painter Vivian Forbes. In December 1937 Philpot suffered a stroke as a result of which he died in the same month.

Philpot's paintings reveal the art movement of symbolism. In keeping with its tradition, his works tend to reflect personal concerns and antagonisms. His primary interest in male nudes and portraits of young men suggest that he learned to accept and express his own homosexuality over time. However, some of his later works were considered controversial because of their homosexual depictions. Two works, Guardian of the Flame (1930) and The Great Pan (1930) were therefore withdrawn by the Royal Academy.

Der Künstler Glyn Warren Philpot

  • Britischer Maler und Bildhauer.
  • Vor allem für seine Porträtmalereien bekannt.
  • Malte in Tradition des Symbolismus.

Glyn Warren Philpot wurde am 5. Oktober 1884 in London geboren. Der britische Maler und Bildhauer ist vor allem für seine Porträts bekannt. Mit 15 Jahren ging er an die damalige Lambeth School of Art (heute: City and Guilds of London Art School) und lernte u. a. bei dem englischen Maler Philip Connard. Er studierte außerdem an der Académie Julian in Paris und konvertierte in dieser Zeit zum römisch-katholischen Glauben. 1904 fand seine erste Ausstellung in der Londoner Royal Academy statt, darauf sollten noch viele weitere folgen. 1913 erhielt er die Goldmedaille des Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. Bald darauf diente er bis 1917 der britischen Infanterie im Ersten Weltkrieg.

Seine größten künstlerischen Erfolge, die ihren Höhepunkt in den 1920ern fanden, feierte Philpot als Porträtist. Er genoss ein komfortables Einkommen, was es ihm ermöglichte, weniger kommerziell erfolgreiche Themenbilder zu malen und verschiedene Orte wie Frankreich, Italien, die USA und Nordafrika zu bereisen.

Ab 1927 war er Kurator der Tate Gallery und hatte 1930 eine Einzelausstellung auf der Biennale von Venedig. Von 1923 bis 1935 hatte Philpot eine Beziehung mit dem englischen Soldaten, Dichter und Maler Vivian Forbes. Im Dezember 1937 erlitt Philpot einen Schlaganfall infolgedessen er im selben Monat starb.

In Philpots Bildern zeigt sich die Kunstströmung des Symbolismus. Ganz in ihrer Tradition spiegeln seine Werke eher persönliche Anliegen und Gegensätzlichkeiten wider. Sein vornehmliches Interesse an männlichen Akt- und Porträtbildern junger Männer lassen darauf schließen, dass er seine eigene Homosexualität mit der Zeit akzeptieren und zum Ausdruck zu bringen lernte. Einige seiner späteren Werke wurden wegen ihrer homosexuellen Darstellungen jedoch als umstritten angesehen. Zwei Werke, Guardian of the Flame (1930) und The Great Pan (1930) wurden deshalb von der Royal Academy zurückgezogen.
