Louis le Brocquy HRHA, 1916-2012 IMAGE OF SEAN O'RIADA, 1987 A set of four watercolours, each 24'' x 18'' (61 x 46cm), each signed and dated 1987 Provenance: Taylor Galleries, Dublin (label verso) Sean O'Riada was an Irish music composer and broadcaster remembered particularly for his rousing film scores produced using traditional Celtic instruments. He campaigned energetically for the proper recognition and treatment of traditional music and succeeded in establishing a wide-spread public appreciation for Irelands musical heritage. O'Riada's musical scores for two films that took Ireland by storm in the ealy 60s - Mise Eire (1960) and the feature film version of J. M. Synge's 'The Playboy of the Western Worls' (1962), made him a household name.
