Description
Drawn from Life is the second volume of memoirs by E H Shepard, the renowned artist behind Winnie the Pooh and The Wind in the Willows. In this candid account, Shepard recounts his experiences through school, student days, and marriage to a fellow art student, sharing his journey as he navigates the challenges of adulthood. Shepard's story begins with his early days at art school, where he eventually gained recognition for his work being exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. He then served in World War I, before establishing himself as an artist and political cartoonist for Punch magazine. This memoir ends on a hopeful note, with Shepard facing married life with a modest bank balance but a sense of confidence for the future. Born in 1879, E H Shepard's Drawn from Life offers a unique glimpse into the life of this talented artist, providing insight into his experiences and the events that shaped him.
