Artist:
S HORNE SHEPHERD
Title:
'Abstract' (an original unsigned linocut - unframed) Description:
Scottish painter and printmaker Horne Shepherd
(1909-1993) is noted in particular for his figure
subjects, often nudes, and his still lifes. He was born
in Dundee and he studied at Dundee School of Art and
then at the Glasgow School of Art in the late 1920s. He
came to London in the mid 1930s, and later exhibited at
the Royal Society of British Artists, New English Art
Club, London Group, Leicester Galleries, Redfern
Gallery, Royal Scottish Academy and Society of Scottish
Artists, etc. He moved to West Sussex later in life.
An exhibition to mark the centenary of his birth was
held in Dundee in October 2009.
We recently acquired a further selection of paintings,
drawings and prints which came originally directly from
Horne Shepherd's studio. The main item listed (image 1)
is an abstract linocut, which very much has the feel of
the Festival of Britain about it (1951). However we
think this work will have been printed later, possibly
in the 1960s. It measures about 11.2 x 15.2 inches, and
is unsigned and unframed. The print is in good
condition save for some minor undulations in the paper
and some old tape residue to the back, indicating that
at one point it had been framed.
We are also showing here two further works by Horne
Shepherd (images 2 & 3). Both of these are signed by
the artist and both are unframed and
in good condition. Brief details are 'A couple relaxing
on holiday' (watercolour, probably Italy in the 1970s,
11" x 8.2" - £50) and 'Nude seated in a deckchair, reading' (watercolour and felt
tipped pen, dated 1972, 15" x 10.6" - £70)...
