‘Jack’ Warner: worldly wisdom
John Warner, who has died a week before his 90th birthday, was an artist and teacher who, as Chairman of the Chelsea Arts Club in the late 1970s, played a key role in saving the then destitute club from closure.
The son of a talented carpenter with natural artistic inclinations, John Warner – known to most as Jack – was born on January 15 1931, one of seven children. After education in North London, he won a scholarship to Willesden School of Art, now the College of North West London, where he studied graphic design.
