Anthony Devas ARA RP (1911-1958) studied at the Slade School of Art in London 1927-30 where he met his wife artist Nicolette Macnamara. Devas primarily painted portraits, receiving many commissions, and he particularly like to paint children. He also painted flowers and was a keen gardener. He was a member of the Chelsea Art Club and wrote in the press on the art scene. He was associated with the Euston Road group although he didn't particularly identify himself with any group. Anthony Devas held one man shows at the Cooling Gallery, Wildenstein’s, Agnew’s, and the Leicester Galleries, as well as participating in numerous mixed exhibitions. From the early 1940s he was also a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, to which he was elected in 1953. He died aged only 47 after several years of poor health. After his death Nicolette later married fellow Slade School student Rupert Shepherd.
