Biographical Note
Jack B. Yeats was born in 1871, in London. As a young man he moved to London and attended a number of art schools while also doing illustration work to support his family. His works frequently featured common Irish people, figures of legend, and unusual characters. He also contributed art to Cuala Industries, which was run by his sisters. He experienced some difficulty in his career around 1915 when he began to experiment with color and work in oils, but later he became known for his use of color and was prolific, producing more than a thousand oil paintings in his lifetime. He died in 1957.
