Winston Churchill

Born : 1874Died : 1965Documented citizenships : United Kingdom

For Winston Churchill (1874–1965), the British statesman, painting is presented as his principal leisure pursuit; the available information does not allow his artistic practice to be characterised further. His writing, pursued as a journalist and author, earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature; he also wrote a biography of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough.

A Member of Parliament for most of a political career spanning nearly sixty years, he led the British government from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. After the electoral defeat of 1945, he became leader of the Conservative opposition.
