Anton Bartl - Artist

Anton Bartl was born in Prague and studied under Oskar Kokoschka in 1939. After the War, during which time he fought with the Russian army, he came to Britain and settled in Lincoln and taught at the school of art. His portraits were in great demand and his line drawings of figures were always the highlight of the annual exhibition. He became a friend of John Piper RA and they painted together and swapped works.
