Provenance: Bonhams, New York, NY, 2013 Private collection, Texas Rejection came quick and fierce to David Shepherd. In 1949 he took a plane from London to Kenya, where he called on a game warden in Nairobi. Shepherd recalls the encounter: “‘Can I be a game warden?’ And he said, ‘No, bugger off.’ And I came back to England with my world in ruins.” But rejection didn’t deter him. It took decades, but Shepherd became one of the world’s best wildlife artists and one of the most outspoken conservationists whose foundation continues to support conservation across Africa and Asia.
