Jack Yeats
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
- Publish date: 11/01/1998
Based on extensive research in primary sources, this generously illustrated book describes the life of Jack Yeats, son of the portrait painter John Buffer Yeats and younger brother of the poet William Butler Yeats. Born in London, Jack spent his formative years in his grandparents' home in Ireland. His first show was held in England, but the young artist was inexorably drawn to Ireland where he created in drawings and paintings an Irish spirit and language that increasingly captured and glorified the heroism, mystery, myths, and legends of the Irish people. This book explores Yeats' friendships with John Masefield, John Millington Synge, Samuel Beckett, and others; his self-identification with his chosen country; and his struggle against indifference and mockery. It provides a compelling portrait of the complex and enigmatic artist whose reputationand artistic vision have become increasingly admired in the years since his death.
