Byam Shaw. John Byam Liston Shaw, commonly known as Byam Shaw, was a British painter, illustrator, designer and teacher.
He is not to be confused with his sons, Glen Byam Shaw, actor and theatre director, and James Byam Shaw, art historian and director of Colnaghi's, who both used Byam Shaw as a surname. John Byam Liston Shaw was the son of John Shaw and his wife, Sophia Alicia Byam Gunthorpe.
In 1899 Byam Shaw married the artist Evelyn Caroline Eunice Pyke-Nott, later known as Evelyn CE Shaw. Evelyn's sister was Isabel Codrington, another early twentieth century artist.
Byam Shaw came from an Ayreshire family of lawyers and clerics. The Ayreshire Shaws were a cadet branch of the Shaws of Tordarroch, chiefs of the Clan Shaw.
Byam Shaw's forebears included the two reverend Shaws referred to in Burns' Twa Herds. Evelyn's family, the Pyke-Notts, were gentry from Swimbridge and Parracombe in North Devon. The couple had five children including the actor and theatre director Glen Byam Shaw and the art historian James Jim Byam Shaw. Their only daughter, Barbara, married Rear-Admiral A.F. Pugsley. Another son, David, a naval officer and destroyer captain, awarded the OBE, was killed at sea during World War II whilst in command of HMS Stanley, and George, a major in the Royal Scots, was killed at Dunkirk in 1940 whilst second-in-command of the 1st Battalion.
