Roger Winter
Roger Winter (born August 17, 1934) is an American contemporary artist and educator, best known for his landscape paintings of rural Texas and realist depictions of New York City.
Winter was born August 17, 1934, in Denison, Texas, to itinerant farmers Gordon Fillmore Winter and Etta Mae Winter (née Kennemer), as the youngest of eight children.
In 1952, Winter left Denison to study art at the University of Texas in Austin. He was the first in his large original family to attend college. His professors at UT Austin included Constance Forsyth, Loren Mozley, Robert McDonald Graham, William Lester, and Everett Spruce.
After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts and serving two years in the U.S. Army, he moved to Iowa City, Iowa to earn an MFA in painting from the University of Iowa. In 1960, he received a Max Beckmann Memorial Scholarship for study at the Brooklyn Museum School in New York.
Winter moved to Dallas, Texas in 1961, accepting a teaching position at Fort Worth Art Center. During this time, he also served as a studio assistant to Charles T. Williams, who introduced Winter to Jim Love, Roy Fridge, David McManaway, Hal Pauley, Bill Komodore, and Herb Rogalla. These artists all became known regionally, at the time, for their association with the short-lived Dallas Museum of Contemporary Art (DMCA), led by curator Douglas MacAgy, and for their involvement in the art scene surrounding Dallas' Oak Lawn neighborhood.
Between 1963 and 1989, Winter taught at Southern Methodist University's (SMU's) Meadows School of The Arts. Winter also taught painting and drawing for 10 years at the Dallas Museum of Fine Art.
From 1990 to 1996, Winter lived year-round in Frankfort, Maine, and soon became associated with the seasonal artistic community surrounding Penobscot Bay. In Maine, Winter was first introduced to the artist Alex Katz and the documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman through their mutual friend, the painter Neil Welliver. During this time, he also became acquainted with the painter Lois Dodd and the sculptor Anne Arnold. In 2018, Dodd and Winter staged a two-person exhibition at Kirk Hopper Fine Art, Dallas.
In 2012, Winter was the subject of a documentary, Roger Winter and the Line, directed by filmmaker Quin Mathews.
