From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Anthony Green (b. September 30, 1939) is an English contemporary realist painter best known for his paintings of his own middle-class domestic life. His works sometimes use compound perspectives and polygonal forms—particularly with large, irregularly shaped canvasses.
Anthony Green was born September 30, 1939 at Luton, Bedfordshire, and educated at Highgate School, London, and the Slade School of Art. In 1960 he moved to Paris and Chateauroux on a scholarship from the Government of France. He returned to England in 1961 and married Mary Cozens-Walker, with whom he has had two daughters. His first one-man exhibition was held at the Rowan Gallery in 1962. He taught at the Slade from 1964 until 1967 when received a Harkness Fellowship and spent two years living in Leonia, New Jersey and Altadena, California.
Green was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Academy on April 23, 1971, was elected a full Member on March 1, 1977, and won the Royal Academy Summer Exhibit of the Year in 1977. He has had over 80 one-man shows worldwide. A retrospective of his work was held at the Royal Academy in 1978, and in Japan in 1987-88. In 1991 he was elected a Fellow of University College London and in 1996 was shortlisted for the Jerwood Painting Prize. Green’s work Resurrection, a pictorial sculpture for the Millennium, toured UK cathedrals in 2000. He lives and works in Cambridgeshire.
