Artist:
Sydney Horne Shepherd
Title:
'Temptation'
(an original signed painting in watercolour - 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.
We understand that an exhibition to mark the centenary of
his birth is due to be 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 shown here is an
original watercolour of two women in an interior, which is
signed lower right and is likely to date from the 1960s or
early 1970s. It measures about 15 x 10.6 inches, and is
unframed. This work is in good condition, save for a small tear to the
left hand edge of the paper which will not be visible once
the work is framed.
We are also showing here two further works by Horne Shepherd
(images 2 & 3). Both of these are signed by the artist and
are unframed and in good condition. Brief details are 'The
Art Class' (watercolour and gouache 10" x 7" image size
c1950/60s - £65) and 'The Seasons - Summer'
(screenprint 18.2" x 15" image size on paper 24.8" x 20",
editioned #14 of 14, circa late 1960s/early 1970s - £75)...
