Anne Dunn - Personal Life

Personal Life

Dunn's first husband was the artist Michael Wishart (1928–1996); they were married for 10 years before divorcing; by him, she has one son, Francis Wishart, a painter and winemaker. Michael Wishart's autobiography High Diver 1978 is dedicated to her and gives a touching picture of the artist as a young woman.

Immediately after she and Wishart divorced, in 1960, Dunn married the Anglo-Spanish artist Rodrigo Moynihan (1910–1999), as his second wife. By him she has a son, Danny Moynihan, an artist and writer, as well as a stepson, John Moynihan.

She has been painted and drawn by many fellow artists including Joe Brainard, Lucian Freud, and Rodrigo Moynihan.

Dunn has links with France, Switzerland and New York City, but spends parts of her summers at a retreat on the Nigadoo River near Bathurst, New Brunswick.

Famous quotes related to personal life:

    The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
