Charles Brady
New York born Irish artist Charles Brady studied with the Art Students League of New York, before travelling to Ireland at a time of personal turmoil to paint the landscape. He moved here permanently in 1959, living in Dublin and then Dún Laoghaire. www.whytes.ie Poverty lead him to paint on a small scale and he developed a paired back style of still life; treating receipts and matchboxes with a subtle reverence. He intended his works to be accessible for ordinary people to place in their homes. He died of cancer in 1997. His work was celebrated in a major retrospective at the RHA in 2001. www.whytes.ie
