Early life and education

He was born August 17, 1934, in Denison, Texas, the youngest of eight children.[1] Winter was the first in his large original family to attend college.[2] In 1952 he left Denison to study art at the University of Texas in Austin.[3] After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts and serving two years in the U.S. Army,[4] he moved to Iowa City, Iowa to earn an MFA in painting from the University of Iowa.[5] He then applied for and received a Max Beckmann Memorial Scholarship for study at the Brooklyn Museum School in New York.[6]

Career

As a painter, Winter has explored many approaches to balancing illusion and abstraction in his work.[7] Winter’s recent work shows the influence of his daily experience of architecture and ongoing construction in New York.[8] His time spent in the minimal landscapes of New Mexico and Iceland has simplified his painted edges and divisions of canvas space.[9] Winter's painterly brush work and his belief in the importance of luminosity appear to be surviving elements from the past.[10]

Winter taught painting and drawing for 10 years at the now defunct art school of the Dallas Museum of Fine Art.[11][12] While living in Dallas, he also taught from 1963 to 1989 at Southern Methodist University’s (SMU’s) Meadows School of The Arts.[13][12]

Winter currently shows his work at Gerald Peters Contemporary in Santa Fe, New Mexico[14] and Kirk Hopper’s Gallery of Fine Art in Dallas, Texas.[15]
