A brilliant original Martin Collins (Irish illustrator b.1927 - d.2008) oil on board painting featuring a lone fisherman and boat. Signed bottom right and dating to 1941. The illustrative atmospheric qualities of Collins work are really shining through in this piece.
Collins was born in Cork on January 15 1927 and grew up in his beloved city during very tough times. As a part-time student, he came under the guiding influence of college principal Seoirle Mac Cana at the Crawford School of Art, Cork during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Mac Cana saw in him the potential he was later to fulfil. Martin went on to become an accomplished artist, draughtsman and illustrator. He spent his working life in Dublin where he earned his bread in the advertising industry.
