Description

The Dictionary of Irish Artists by Theo Snoddy showcases 600 major and minor Irish painters, sculptors, stained glass artists, and designers of the 20th century includes such important figures as Jack B. Yeats, Evie Hone, Sir John Lavery and Sir William Orpen. Every entry offers bibliographic information and listings of the institutions where the artists’ works can be found.

In a subsidiary capacity, many other practitioners, mainly of non-Irish background, are mentioned in entries and in the index of artists. It is an essential reference work for all those interested in Irish art.
