Theodore James Gracey
Landscape painter and illustrator, Theo Gracey began his artistic career as an apprentice lithographer in Belfast in 1909, and in 1915 enrolled in the Belfast School of Art. He exhibited principally with the Belfast Art Society and later at the RUA of which he was an academician. Between the years 1924-1951 he showed a total of seventy works at the RHA. He also submitted a number of pictures to the Fine Art Society in London. He was a friend of Frank McKelvey (q.v.) and Maurice MacGonigal. Recognised mainly as a watercolourist and a painter of counties Donegal and Antrim, Gracey also illustrated Richard Hayward's book In the Kingdom of Kerry, (Dundalgan Press, Dundalk, 1946). www.whytes.ie
