Rodrigo Moynihan

(b Tenerife, Canary Islands, 17 Oct 1910; d 6 Nov 1990). English painter. He lived in the USA and Rome before studying at the Slade School of Fine Art, London (1928-31). Early acclaim in the 1930s resulted from his part in the formation of the OBJECTIVE ABSTRACTION group. With the development of Social Realism in the late 1930s, Moynihan abandoned abstraction as increasingly isolating and from 1937 became closely associated with the Euston Road School.
