Born in Vienna, Kinley came to England in 1938. He studied at Düsseldorf Academy
1948–9 and at St Martin’s School of Art from 1949–53. Influenced by the de Staël ex-
hibition in London 1953, he held his first solo show in London at Gimpel Fils in 1954.
Nancy met Kinley in London through fellow artist and boyfriend Derek Middleton,
who lived with him on a barge on the Thames and had a joint exhibition with Kinley
and Albert Irvin in the Brooke Street Gallery.
