Drawings of John Butler Yeats 1839-1922

Best known as an artist for the oils that hang in the National Gallery of Ireland and in the Foyer of the Abbey Theatre, John Butler Yeats's artist drawings, genre paintings, and his works as an illustrator have received little attention. This catalogue from a 1987 exhibition at the Albany Institute of History and Art, Albany, New York, showcases thirty-eight examples of Yeats's powerful and vibrant artwork. The introductory essays and catalogue text situate the works, mostly portraits, in Yeats's personal life and in the era in which he lived.Cullen, Fintan is the author of 'Drawings of John Butler Yeats 1839-1922' with ISBN 9780939072071 and ISBN 0939072076.
