Biografi

A Barrack-room (1942) av Keith Vaughan

Vaughan föddes i Selsey i West Sussex och gick på Christ's Hospital -skolan. Han arbetade på en reklambyrå fram till andra världskriget , då han som en avsiktlig vapenvägrare anslöt sig till St John Ambulance ; 1941 blev han inkallad till den icke-stridande kåren . Vaughan var självlärd som konstnär. Hans första utställningar ägde rum under kriget. 1942 var han stationerad på Ashton Gifford nära Codford i Wiltshire, och målningar från denna tid inkluderar The Wall at Ashton Gifford ( Manchester Art Gallery) .

Under kriget bildade Vaughan vänskap med målarna Graham Sutherland och John Minton , med vilka han efter demobiliseringen 1946 delade lokaler. Genom dessa kontakter ingick han i den omedelbara efterkrigstidens nyromantiska krets. Vaughan utvecklade dock snabbt en idiosynkratisk stil som flyttade honom bort från nyromantikerna. Genom att koncentrera sig på studier av mansfigurer blev hans verk allt mer abstrakt.

Vaughan arbetade som konstlärare vid Camberwell College of Arts, Central School of Art och senare på Slade School .

Vaughan är också känd för sina tidskrifter, urval från vilka publicerades 1966 och mer omfattande 1989, efter hans död. En homosexuell man som besväras av sin sexualitet, han är till stor del känd genom dessa tidskrifter. Han diagnostiserades med cancer 1975 och dog av självmord 1977 i London, och skrev ner sina sista ögonblick i sin dagbok när överdosen drog i kraft.

Hundraårsminnet av Keith Vaughans födelse firades med en utställning på Pallant House Gallery i Chichester, "Keith Vaughan: Romanticism to Abstraction" (10 mars till 10 juni 2012).

Hans auktionsrekord på £313 250 sattes på Sotheby's, London, den 11 november 2009, för oljan på duk Theseus and the Minotaur , tidigare i samlingen av Richard Attenborough (som köpte den 1967).
