Irish Watercolors and Drawings by Anne Crookshank

Irish Watercolors and Drawings by Anne Crookshank

Irish Watercolors and Drawings offers a unique chronicle of Irish history. The exquisite watercolors, drawings, and pastels reproduced here capture a broad range of Irish experience, extending beyond picturesque landscapes and pretty colleens to Irish emigrants arriving in America, polar expeditions, Maori encampments, army barracks, horse races, taverns, grand country houses, and the interiors of Irish cabins. Key Irish artists such as George Barret, Francis Danby, Frederick William Burton, and Jack Yeats, along with many less well known figures, are seen in historical and social contexts. Irish painters abroad - in North America, Australia, New Zealand, India, and elsewhere - are treated in a special section. Artists who visited and were inspired by Ireland are also represented. The comprehensive text accompanies more than 400 illustrations, among them many unfamiliar works from museums and private collections around the world.

Desmond FitzGerald, The Knight of Glin, was a teaching Fellow at Harvard University.
