Timothy Hyman RA (1946 - 2024)

Hyman studied at the Slade School of Fine Art (1963-1967). He exhibited widely in the UK, Italy and India and won the National Portrait Gallery Travel Award in 2007.

He was a figurative painter, writer, curator and lecturer. A recognised authority on Sienese painting and the work of Pierre Bonnard, he published acclaimed monographs on both subjects. He wrote extensively on art and film, was a regular contributor to the Times Literary Supplement and curated exhibitions at the Tate, ICA and Hayward galleries.

Hyman was a portraitist, but is probably best known for his narrative renditions of London. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Beckmann and Hopper, he explored his personal relationship, both real and mythological, with the city where he lived and worked. He employed vivid colours, shifting scale and perspectives, to create visionary works.
