		John Piper (1903-1992) was an artist who excelled in designing stained glass, despite only discovering the medium until half-way through his career.
		Piper greatly admired French medieval glass, such as that at Chartres, but he was also aware of modern art trends.
		He had a wide artistic experience, coupled with a deep love and knowledge of architecture; he was also a profoundly religious man. As a result, each window was a deeply considered undertaking, and no artist has ever produced such varied designs for stained glass.

		John Piper’s work throughout the 1930’s in many ways illustrates the conflicting influences that were at work in British art of the period.
		Although the landscapes of 1937-38 break from abstraction in their subject, the technique in which they were executed make Piper’s links with European modernism clear.
		The collages of this period, in which the present work sits, take the coastline as their subject, and were made in situ on Piper’s frequent motor tours of the country.
