John Clymer was born near Brighton, England, in 1932. At a very early age, he exhibited definite artistic talents. His father immediately recognized his son's gift and enrolled him at the royal art academy. John was soon swept by the serenity and tranquility of the impressionists. His favorites ranged from Monet to Pissaro and Sisley; eventually leading to an awakening interest in the magnificent Turners at the Tate galleries. Clymer's serene yet colorful canvases ably depict his love for the southern English coastline. Demand for his canvases is very high in the United States and the European continent, while still relatively dormant in his home country. As an Impressionist painter, Clymer was known for his pastoral landscapes depicting scenes from daily life, notably provincial French towns. He also created numerous views of city life during his stay in Paris.
