A foundational figure in British abstraction, Michael Kidner, RA (1917-2008), devoted much of his career to developing work of a constructive nature. Both rational and playful, he combined visual responses to the principles of mathematics, science and chaos theories with an abiding interest in the irrational and unpredictable nature of the human condition.
British artist Michael Kidner studied History and Anthropology at Cambridge University. Kidner is represented in public collections including the Tate, London and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
