Breon O'Casey

Breon O'Casey has been a highly productive and much respected artist for four decades but his public reputation has only recently spread beyond certain interlocked art and craft circles. He has been a jeweller, a painter, an etcher, a weaver, and more recently he has taken to sculpture.The son of a playwright Sean O'Casey, for most of his career Breon O'Casey has lived in Cornwall and has been closely associated with the St Ives School of painters and sculptors.The volume has been specially designed to display many examples of the artist's work in different media. With 78 colour illustrations it covers the full range and brings to the fore the work in painting and sculpture. In addition to Brian Fallon's introductory essay, Breon O'Casey himself provides his own commentary on his inspirations, working methods and environment.
