His family was dominated by high civil servants and clerics, who developed a self-conception of service and subordination to the Crown. They were loyal, dutiful and patriotic representatives of a British middle class. This understanding of service also played a prominent role in the life of Byam Shaw. Shaw was born in the South Indian metropolis of Madras, where his father had been transferred as a judicial officer. He works at the highest colonial court as a registrar. Thus Shaw came into contact with Indian culture and with the military culture of the British colonial troops in India. The colonial service became a formative identity factor in the family that went far beyond the mere time of stationing. At the age of 15 his artistic talent was discovered and at 18 he began his studies at the Royal Academy Schools and two years later received the coveted Armitage Prize. His artistic career with relatively conventional paintings in the style of the Pre-Raphaelites and the classical academic painting of the 19th century showed clear signs of exhaustion after a few years, despite a total of five solo exhibitions in well-known galleries. In 1904, Shaw therefore changed his life and from then on taught painting for his daughters in the women's department of King's College. Besides his academic activities, Shaw maintained his own private drawing and painting school.
So far, his life has followed the conventional path of a moderately successful artist who switches to teaching in order to make a living. However, the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 tore him away from this life and led him to his true artistic vocation. The war with the German Empire was understood by Great Britain as a mission of civilisation, in which European culture had to be saved from the encroachments of the Huns. With the year 1914, a propaganda war unfolded on both sides, which integrated all modern media into a psychological warfare. First, however, Shaw volunteered to join the "Artists Rifles", an infantry regiment that also served on the Western Front. However, before the first combat operations, Shaw was transferred to a police unit that was active on the home front in Great Britain. Since then, Shaw has produced political satire drawings for a variety of magazines and periodicals. The patriotic, pathetic and anti-German cartoons made him famous and Shaw also worked on commemorative commissions. The war against the German Empire became his actual artistic goal and his work was aimed at the perseverance of the population in the material battles on the Western Front. For example, he also worked for the recruitment of war volunteers, adapting the original British myth of King Arthur and stylizing the soldiers as knights of the Round Table.
Shaw still experienced the German surrender, but in 1918 he fell ill with the Spanish flu, which caused over 20 million deaths between 1916 and 1918, and died at the age of 47 in January 1919.
