Glyn Philpot
Visual Artist
1884 – 1937
Who was Glyn Philpot?
Glyn Warren Philpot was an English artist, best known for his portraits of contemporary figures such as Siegfried Sassoon and Vladimir Rosing.
Philpot was born in Clapham London, but the family moved to Herne in Kent shortly afterwards. Although homosexual, Philpot was a practising Christian who converted to Roman Catholicism.
Philpot studied at the Lambeth School of Art in 1900. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1923. Some of his later work was considered controversial in its time because of the explicit sexual imagery, and this led to a loss of popularity which caused him financial hardship.
Exhibitions have been held at The Tate Gallery, The Ashmolean Museum, The National Portrait Gallery and Pallant House Gallery.
He was a member of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers.
