Christy Brown
A primitive- style painter, paralysed with cerebral palsy Christy Brown wrote, drew and painted with his left foot. He came under contract with the Disabled Artists Association in Liechtenstein and sent off eight paintings a year to them. Most were reproduced on charity cards. He was a founder member of the Disabled Artists Association, Cork. Some of his works were exhibited at the Agnew Somerville gallery in Dublin in 1970. Brown also wrote a number of books and poems during his lifetime. In 1954 he published an autobiography which was later adapted in to a film where Daniel Day Lewis starred as the artist. Christy Brown died at age 49 in England.
