Artist

James Winston

James Winston is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

James Winston spent his life sneaking into London theaters, sketchbook in hand, to capture the chaos of backstage. He drew actors half-made-up, props piled like a child’s toys, and the hush before the crowd storms in. Flip through his 1830s backstage drawings and you’ll feel the sawdust and candle wax; tap “Winston Collection” to step behind the velvet rope without the tour guide.
