Peter Lanyon
Peter Lanyon is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Peter Lanyon spent years gliding over Cornwall’s jagged cliffs in a tiny plane, mapping the land from the air before he put brush to canvas. He turned weather and wind into jagged color fields, as if the sky itself had been folded into paint. Skip the big retrospectives; just look up *Underground*—that 1951 print where the Cornish earth folds into itself like a crumpled map you can almost hear rustling in the wind.
