Born in Manhattan, New York in 1926, Charles Brady studied at the Art Student's League in New York before coming to settle in Ireland in the 1950s. "As long as I paint every day, something is bound to happen.." Charles Brady. He is widely recognized as a painter of insignificant or banal objects, combining a thoroughly modern almost minimal aesthetic open painterly approach to his work. Brady's style reminded some observers of the Italian, Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964), of whom it was said: "More than most contemporary artists he went his own way and worked in isolation from current movements."
