Artist Research

John Piper: John Piper was an English painter, printmaker and designer of stained-glass windows. He is well known for his work in churches and monuments. He was given the title 'Official war artist in World War 2'. We looked at his work with the Coventry Cathedral, this was destroyed by the air raid in world war 2, it was produced the morning after. After looking at the cathedral we looked at the Royal Garrison church which is located in Southsea. This building is more representative with the subject psychogeography as it closer to where we live so we are able to relate it more to the subject as we are able to develop this idea more. The Royal Garrison Church was badly damaged in a 1941 fire-bomb raid in Portsmouth, this is also a church that was damaged in world war 2. This meant that it related more with the work he creates.
