Ernest Columba Hayes
A Dublin born artist, Hayes was a student at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art in the years 1931 to 1934, where he studied under Seαn Keating and had his first painting accepted by the Royal Hibernian Academy while still a student there. He went on to regularly show at the RHA for the rest of his life. He joined the Dublin Sketching Club in 1935 later becoming the clubs secretary. He had his first one-man show at the Victor Waddington Galleries, Dublin in 1937. www.whytes.ie In 1942 he was appointed ARHA and three years later became a full member. In 1958 he completed a large portrait of the Duchess of Gloucester, now in St Botolphs Hall, which was exhibited in the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Exhibition at the Royal Institute Galleries. From 1960 until 1977 he travelled extensively throughout Europe working in Italy, France and Germany. A year after his death the RHA commemorated him in a memorial section. Thirteen years later, in 1992 a memorial exhibition was held at the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art. www.whytes.ie
