Nat Mayer Shapiro

Nathan Mayer Shapiro (June 2, 1919 – December 2, 2005) was an American visual artist.

Art

Nat Mayer Shapiro’s art is best known for his complex paintings on paper and canvas that may incorporate structural and whimsical imagery among areas of pure or constructed abstraction. He did not adhere to any particular school or art movement, remaining an individualist throughout his life.

Life

Nat Mayer Shapiro was born in New York City, and spent his childhood and adolescence in Brooklyn, NY. At ten, he decided he would become a full-time fine arts painter and started attending the after-school programs at the Pratt Institute in New York. He was inducted in the army in 1941, and traveled with the Medical Corp to Australia and New Guinea where he spent most of his four years and half of military life. Upon his return to the States, he spent eight months in the Rest & Rehabilitation Center in Lake Placid, NY, where he was finally able to work as an artist, painting stage sets, portraits and landscapes. In 1945, the War Department acquired some of Shapiro’s artwork for the then planned War Museum. Back into civilian life, Shapiro worked as a commercial artist while attending classes at the Art Students League of New York.

In 1951, married and father of two children, he moved with his family to Chicago. In 1961, they moved to France. In Paris, he attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and experimented with different artistic media and styles.

In 1985, Shapiro returned to New York and settled in Yonkers, New York^[1] where he joined a group of artists who wanted to open a cooperative art gallery. He was instrumental in locating, setting up and launching Westchester's oldest fine arts cooperative gallery in Dobbs Ferry, the Upstream Gallery of which he was president from 1995 to 2002.^[2] He died in New York City.
