Let’s raise a glass to these talented individuals and celebrate the enduring beauty and significance of Irish art:
JACK BUTLER YEATS --- one of the most famous Irish artists
Although Jack Butler Yeats is commonly given kudos for his famous family relation – brother, William Butler Yeats – Jack himself was a tremendous artist.
