First sentence: PAUL HENRY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT Irish landscape painter of the twentieth century.
Description: "In his idyllic landscape paintings of the west of Ireland, Paul Henry (1876-1958) provides the quintessential view of the Irish scene, now as universally familiar as Cezanne's view of Provence or Constable's representations of Suffolk.".

"Kennedy brings to life the artistic worlds of Belfast, Paris, London and Dublin, all the while setting Henry's life against the backdrop of one of the most revolutionary periods in recent Irish history. Generously illustrated in colour throughout this volume will stand as a highly important contribution to Irish art."--BOOK JACKET.
