Patrick Collins HRHA
Moonlight on Inisfree - Oil on Canvas Patrick Collins (1911-1994) was one of Irelands foremost painters of the 20th century. He was elected HRHA (Honorary Council of the Royal Hibernian Academy) in 1980 and a member of Aosdana
in 1981 and had a major retrospective exhibition by the Irish Arts
Council (Cork, Belfast, Dublin) in 1982. Several solo exhibitions
followed, including a Retrospective at Sligo Art Gallery in 1985. Two
years later, Patrick Collins was the first artist to be honoured with
the accolade SAOI by Aosdana in recognition of his outstanding
contribution to the visual arts in Ireland. In 1988 he received an
Honorary Doctorate of Literature from Trinity College, Dublin. His
paintings have been exhibited widely in Ireland and in Europe, and are
held in many public and private collections of Irish painting worldwide.
"Patrick Collins has made a unique contribution to painting in our
time by his power to evoke an aspect of Ireland which captures not only
the primary image of the place and the people, but also its spiritual
content. His grey-blue landscapes contain images of households, farms
and figures, which emerge with a curious imprecise shape that is
ultimately seen to be marked by folk-memory and by legend. Like a poet
with words, his images penetrate areas beyond exact statement or
description - they belong to the area of suggestion and imagination
which cannot be identified outside the realm of his own idiom." (James White, Chairman of the Arts Council in the foreword to "Patrick Collins" by Frances Ruane.) 5 products in this category, displaying products 1 to 5.
