Jack B. Yeats is one of the most talented and renowned painter that our fair isle of Ireland has ever produced. Son of the painter John Butler Yeats and brother of the Nobel prize-winning writer William Butler Yeats. Though he began his artistic life as an illustrator, around 1920 he moved into a deeply Expressionist style and it's for this that he became famous and made his work become collector's items. This painting, of his favourite subject, the Irish land and seascapes is titled 'The Sea' and it's the painting of his that I love the most (except for 'Old Walls'...) Go online, go to the National Gallery of Ireland (linked in title) and look at his exceptional artwork- you will fall in love with it.
