Irish & Other Landscapes
Continuing the theme of documenting the landscape, internationally
renowned artist Goffried Helnwein will exhibit a number of large-scale
photo-realist canvases depicting Irish landscapes. Helnwein lives
for much of the year in Co. Tipperary and his paintings illustrate
the drama and the beauty of the countryside as well as revealing the
changing landscape of Ireland. Helnwein, (born in Vienna in 1948),
is a formidable artist and his work has often been proved controversial,
because they function as moral probes. He continually reveals emotive
issues within his work practice. Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Emmet
Place.

he took up a teaching position at the Crawford School of Art in 1930
where he would continue to teach until his retirement in 1966. Primarily
a painter and sculptor working in wood and stone, Marshall C. Hutson
also promoted a wide range of artistic disciplines both in his own
practice and his teaching. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Hibernian
Academy (R.H.A.) for over fifty years between the 1930s and 1980s,
and in 1958 he was elected Associate of the R.H.A. Hutson also exhibited
