Born in Sussex Vaughan had no formal art training and it was not until during the war he first came under the
influence of the neo-romantic painters such as Graham Sutherland and John Minton which markedly affected
his work. from the mid 1940’s onwards he was to become one of Britain’s most successful artists. He taught at the
Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts 1946/8,Central School of Arts and Crafts 1948/57 and the Slade from 1954.
Many public galleries including the Tate hold his work. He travelled extensively and this work was obviously done
after a trip to Connemara in the mid 1950’s.
