Ed Shewmake, ( 1920-2008) Large Painting of Seated Nude in Vibrant Colors, Oil on Board
Ed Shewmake was the director of the art department at Salem College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina from 1953 to 1985 where he taught painting, printmaking and art history.
Shewmake's art features the human figure with abstract studies of form motion. He was quoted as saying, “Basically I guess you can say I paint emotions and feeling more than I do merely visual scenes … irony? I suppose so, though I’ve tried shaking it from time to time.”
Ed Shewmake studied at Davidson College in l941, and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in l950. He also received professional training from the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida, the Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC, and George Washington University. He attended the Art Students League of New York Summer School at Woodstock, NY, the Cleveland Art Institute, and the Carnegie Institute of Technology Summer School. His work is found in many private collections as well as the North Carolina Museum of Art.
