Winsor & Newton was founded in 1832 through the unique partnership of chemist William Winsor and artist Henry Newton. Respected artists JMW Turner, Picasso and David Hockney used the brand in their artworks. Queen Victoria commissioned Winsor & Newton to create the Series 7 brush in 1841, granting the brand its first Royal Warrant, and which is still held today.
The pioneer in fine art colour Lefranc Bourgeois, founded in 1720, and used on the ceiling of the Palace of Versailles has a long and proud tradition of working in partnership with artists.
Liquitex’s founder Henry Levison created the first water-based acrylic paint. His mantra of “I’m only happy when I’m trying to create something new” lives on today, with Liquitex continuing to push boundaries and challenge the established way of doing things.
