Ralph Cusack
Cusack was a first cousin of Mainie Jellett. Largely self-taught, he lived on the Continent from the mid 1990s and exhibited in the Salon de Monaco in 1937. He returned to Dublin on the outbreak of the war and had his first solo show in the Dublin Painters’ Gallery in 1940. He later showed with the WCSI and designed stage sets for the Olympia Theatre alongside Anne Yates and Thurloe Conolly. www.whytes.ie In the 1950s Cusack lived with his wife Nancy in Roundwood, Wicklow where he managed a nursery for rare bulbs. He later relocated to France again in the mid 1950s and exhibited in a group show entitled “Artistes Étrangers en France” in the Petit Palais, Paris, 1955. The artist wrote his autobiography between 1955 and 1957 and died in the summer of 1965. www.whytes.ie
