Christopher Campbell, 1908-1972
VIOLINIST
Oil on canvas, 24" x 22" (61 x 55.8cm), signed.
Provenance: The Collection of Bruce Arnold.
Christopher Campbell presented himself as an enigmatic figure in Irish art. He was a Dublin artist, an urban painter of portraits and nudes and imaginative subjects. A faithful and careful student of Patrick Tuohy, the influence of his teacher is apparent in his early canvases. Campbell first exhibited at the RHA in 1929, and continued to do so regularly until 1945. After that his submissions were infrequent. He became an art teacher at the Kilkenny Technical Schools in 1947, and was there for four years.
