Join Miles Champion and Trevor Winkfield for a discussion of the recent publication of Georges Braque and Others: The Selected Art Writings of Trevor Winkfield and How I Became A Painter: Trevor Winkfield in Conversation with Miles Champion."To read one of Trevor Winkfield’s marvelous essays is like strolling through a museum with a witty, erudite, independently minded friend whose sharp, unorthodox observations make you see the art on view in an entirely new light." —Raphael Rubinstein
Trevor Winkfield was born in Leeds, England in 1944. After studying painting at the Royal College of Art under Peter Blake and Carel Weight, he moved to New York City in 1969.
