Rupert Shepherd Art

British, 1909-1992

Rupert Shepherd studied at the Slade School of Art from 1926–29. On leaving the Slade, Shepherd became a schoolmaster using his evenings to paint. He has exhibited his paintings since 1929 at various London venues. In 1937, the inaugural year of the Euston Road School of Drawing and Painting, he exhibited with the school's founder members William Coldstream, Claude Rogers, and Victor Pasmore at the Storran Gallery. During the Second World War, he worked as an official war artist. Shepherd subsequently moved to South Africa with his family to become the director of the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town. He returned to England in 1962 and painted full-time from then on.
