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]Dunn was born at Norwich House on Norfolk Street, London,[2] the daughter of Canadian steel magnate Sir James Dunn, 1st Baronet (1874–1956) and his second wife, Irene Clarice Richards. Her mother was 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.[3][4]
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]
