Artist:
Sydney Horne Shepherd
Title:
'Abstract in red, yellow and black' (an original signed 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.
We understand that an exhibition to mark the centenary of
his birth is due to be held in Dundee later in October.
We recently acquired a further selection of drawings and
prints, which came originally directly from Horne
Shepherd's studio. The item shown here is an
original abstract linocut, measuring 15.7" x 20.7" image
size and about 20" x 30" sheet size. The work is signed
in pencil lower right and it is unframed. The image
itself is in very good condition. The paper to the
upper margin is creased heavily and there is some foxing
near to the edge of this margin, but not close to the
printed image.
We are also showing here two further works by Horne
Shepherd (images 3 & 4). Both of these are signed by the
artist and are unframed and in good condition, save for
some minor creasing to the margins on Girl Undressing.
Brief details are 'Girl with Necklace' (linocut 10"x9"
image size, on buff paper with wide margins, c1940s/50s
- £60) and 'Girl Undressing' (linocut printed in green
9.8" x 7.5" image size, on T H Saunders 1945 handmade
