A contemporary of George Bell and William Frater, he was a leader of the post-impressionist movement in Australia. He won many awards and his work is represented in the NGA and all state galleries.
Shore was President of the Victorian Artists’ Society for 1960 and 1961, and was awarded the society’s medal of honour.
