John D. Minton, Jr. (born 1952), Chief Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court
Born in London, son of a watch repairer in Mill Lane, NW6, he became a member of the 1950s Soho set alongside John Minton, Francis Bacon and Daniel Farson.
At the height of their acclaim they courted a large circle of friends - including Michael Ayrton, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and John Minton as well as the poets George Barker and Dylan Thomas - and were renowned for their parties at their studio (77 Bedford Gardens).
Both Scamp and Rain on the Pavements were republished by New London Editions in 2010 with reproductions of the original covers by the artist John Minton.
