"Keith Vaughan was born in 1912 at Selsey Bill in Sussex, and attended Christ's Hospital, where he was badly bullied. He received no formal instruction in art, but was apprenticed at the Lintas advertising agency, which gave him some understanding of form and composition. During this period he painted small artworks, leaving Lintas in 1939 to paint full time, a career that was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. Vaughan registered as a Conscientious Objector, eventually ending up as an assistant and interpreter at a German POW camp. After the war, he returned to painting, and took up a part time role teaching illustration at Camberwell School of Art. Also around this period he started illustrating for The Hogarth Press, John Lehmann, and Paul Elek, amongst others."
