Yorkshire artist Walter Meegan showed his talent early.
After marriage, he travelled to the United States and opened a studio on Fifth Avenue in New York where he gained great acclaim and moved in circles appropriate for gaining prestigious commissions. However, the death of his youngest child and his wife’s homesickness meant that the family returned to Yorkshire – first to Leeds and then to Scarborough, where the family settled.
It was at the time of the Meegan family’s return to British shores that Walter Meegan became a pupil of the great Yorkshire painter, Atkinson Grimshaw, studying with him at his Leeds studio. Indeed, Meegan is considered by many to be Grimshaw’s greatest disciple.
