Whilst at Cambridge he had a number of caricatures published in both Granta and the Cambridge Magazine and had a one-man exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1912.[2] After leaving Cambridge he set up his own studio and was successful in selling his caricatures to various weekly and monthly periodicals.[3] In the First World War Kapp served in the British Army as a lieutenant with the Royal Sussex Regiment. He was gassed and, later in the conflict, worked in Intelligence at General Headquarters. After the war Kapp studied for a short period both in England, Paris and at Berlin University. He had a solo exhibition of drawings at the Leicester Galleries in 1922 and went on to have over several dozen solo shows in Britain and abroad.[4] Throughout the 1920s Kapp published several volumes of his drawings and caricatures.[5] Kapp produced a series of lithographs of diplomats at the League of Nations for the British Museum and the National Portrait Gallery.[1] From 1922 to 1930 Kapp was married to the writer and political activist Yvonne Helene Mayer (1903-1999).[1] In 1932 he married the sculptor and painter Polia Chentoff who died the following year.[4] In the Second World War Kapp received several short commissions from the War Artists' Advisory Committee, most notably for a series called Life under London depicting people sheltering in the London Underground and in the crypt of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields during the Blitz.[6][7] During 1946 and 1947 Kapp was commissioned by UNESCO to produce twenty portraits of the delegates at its first international congress in Paris. In 1961 the Whitechapel Art Gallery held a retrospective of his work which included some 310 pieces.[8] Shortly afterwards Kapp abandoned figurative work and fully embraced abstract painting.[9] Further extensive exhibitions of his work were held at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts in both 1999 and 2001.[4] Kapp's artwork is held in several national British collections, most notably those of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery.[10][11] Published works
