Scenes of Figurative Narration

Works by Master Realist Joseph Sheppard

Join the ÐÒ¸£±¦µ¼º½ community in celebrating and exploring the works of master painter Joseph Sheppard.

Renowned for his work with the figure, Sheppard has produced countless compositions over the course of his long career. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, he studied at what is now MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) with Jacques Maroger, who had been a technical director of the Louvre. Sheppard later returned to MICA to teach painting, anatomy, and life drawing for 15 years. His commitment to realism, demonstrated in his attention to detail and passion for representing the human form, has resulted in works across a range of subject matter and human experiences.

This exhibition features 18 realist and vibrant paintings spanning the artist’s seven decades in art.
