From the time of his first trip to Ireland in 1913 and his last
trip in 1928, American artist Robert Henri created masterful
paintings of the Irish landscape and people, particularly children.
These engaging paintings offer a fascinating window onto the genre
about which Henri felt most strongly--portraiture--and also serve
as a way to chart his experiments with paint handling and color
theories. In Ireland, he was able to focus on his painting without
the distractions of life in New York. The periods Henri spent in
Ireland were among his most prolific, and the paintings that he
produced there among his most accomplished.
Essays explore Henri's familiarity with Irish subjects and
culture prior to his first trip to Ireland, and focus on the
striking portraits that he created during his Irish sojourns.
