Abstract expressionist from Clairmont New Hampshire, Born Aug. 19, 1913, in Massachusetts, Winer owned and operated a women's clothing store in Claremont, N.H., after graduating from Harvard College in 1934.

During World War II, he served as an Army sergeant in Europe and was among the first troops to liberate the Dachau concentration camp in Germany during the final months of the war.

Back in New Hampshire, Winer served on the school board, was president of the Chamber of Commerce, co-founded a B'nai B'rith lodge, served on a mental health association board and was involved in several other civic organizations.

He did not pursue his lifelong interest in art until his children were grown and he and his wife moved in 1972 to Longboat Key, in part because of Sarasota's arts community. See less
