Ed Shewmake (American 1920 - 2008) oil on plexiglass, titled PLEASE FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, signed lower left, silver metal frame.
From 1953 to 1985, Ed Shewmake was Professor of Art at Salem College where he taught painting, printmaking, art history, and design. He was the first president of Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, a founding member of Artworks Gallery, and a member of the Tri- State Sculptors Association. He exhibited in numerous regional shows and is in many private collections. Shewmake received a B.S. from Davidson College in l941, and M.A. in Art History from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in l950. He studied at 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. Shewmake developed his own unique modern style without following trends. He was once 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."
