Born in Sussex, Vaughan had no formal art training and it was
not until during the war he &rst came under the in%uence of the
neo-romantic painters such as Graham Sutherland and John Min-
ton which markedly a)ected his work. From the mid 1940s on-
wards he was to become one of Britain’s most successful artists. He
taught at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts 1946/8,Cen-
tral School of Arts and Crafts 1948/57 and the Slade from 1954.
Many public galleries including the Tate hold his work. He trav-
elled extensively and this work was obviously done after a trip to
Connemara in the mid 1950s.
