John Minton was an English painter and illustrator known for his eclectic style which combined elements of French and British Neo-Romanticism. His main theme is the young male figure placed in emotionally charged settings with homoerotic overtones. He was a celebrity of London’s bohemia and a key figure of Neo-Romanticism in the 1940s. He was a complex character and. the growth of abstraction in art compounded personal problems for this figurative painter, leading to his suicide.
