Irish Art

The Thomas Dillon Redshaw Collection


In 1966, Thomas Redshaw made his first trip to Dublin, Ireland to pursue a graduate degree studying the works of W.B. Yeats under the tutelage of poet John Montague. He soon found himself immersed in the creative community, reciting verse at local meetups with other young poets like Eavan Boland and Richard Ryan. Those formative years in Dublin surrounded by Irish authors, poets, and artists inspired Redshaw to build a personal artwork collection by artists who defined Modernism in twentieth century Irish art.
