Шон Китинг (родился Джон Китинг , 28 сентября 1889 г.-21 декабря 1977 года) был ирландским художником-романтическим реалистиком, который нарисовал некоторые знаковые образы Ирландской войны за независимость и ранней индустриализации Ирландии. Он провел две недели или около того каждый год в конце лета на островах Аран , и его многочисленные портреты островных людей изображали их как грубые героические фигуры.
Жизнь и карьера
[ редактировать ]
Шон Китинг изучал рисунок в технической школе Лимерика , прежде чем стипендия, организованная Уильямом Орпеном, позволила ему пойти в возрасте двадцати лет для обучения в Столичной школе искусств в Дублине. В течение следующих нескольких лет он провел время на островах Аран. В 1914 году Китинг получил премию RDS Taylor с картиной под названием «Примирение» . Приз включал 50 фунтов стерлингов, что позволило ему отправиться в Лондон, чтобы работать в качестве помощника студии Орпена в 1915 году. В конце 1915 или начале 1916 года он вернулся в Ирландию, где задокументировал войну за независимость и последующую гражданскую войну. Примеры включают мужчин Юга (1921–22), которые показывают группу мужчин ИРА , готовые устроить засаду на военный автомобиль и аллегорию (впервые выставленные в 1924 году), в которой две противоположные стороны в гражданской войне Ирландского Триколур, покрытый гробом среди корней на древнем дереве. Картина включает в себя автопортрет художника.
Keating was elected an Associate of the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) in 1918, and a full member in 1923. One of the cardinal achievements of the Irish Free State in the 1920s was the building, in partnership with Siemens, of a hydro-electric power generator at Ardnacrusha, near Limerick. Between 1926 and 1927 Keating, at his own initiative, produced a considerable number of paintings related to this scheme. He exhibited several examples of the paintings in the RHA exhibitions in 1927 and 1928. Most are now in the collection of ESB Group. His work was also part of the art competitions at the 1924 Summer Olympics and the 1928 Summer Olympics.[1]
In 1936 a group of prominent Limerick politicians, artists and patrons established the first Limerick City Collection of Art, made up of various donations and bequests.[2] Keating was part of this artist-led initiative to form a municipal art gallery in Limerick similar to those already in Dublin and Cork. As a pivotal member of the committee, Keating himself donated many works to the collection which was first exhibited in the Savoy Cinema, Limerick City, on 23 November 1937. It was not until 1948, however, that an extension to the rear of Limerick Free Library and Museum became the permanent home to the City Collection, acquiring the name of the Limerick Free Art Gallery. In 1985 the Library and Museum were transferred to larger buildings.[3]
In 1939 Keating was commissioned to paint a mural for the Irish pavilion at the New York World's Fair. He was President of the Royal Hibernian Academy from 1950 to 1962, and showed at the annual exhibition for 61 years from 1914 onwards. Keating was an intellectual painter in the sense that he consciously set out to explore the visual identity of the Irish nation, and his paintings show a very idealised realism. He feared that the modern movement would lead to a decline in artistic standards. Throughout his career, he exhibited nearly 300 works at the RHA, and also showed at the Oireachtas.[4]
Keating married political campaigner, May Walsh, in 1919. She was a frequent model for his paintings until her death in 1965.[5] He died on 21 December 1977 at the Adelaide Hospital and was buried at Cruagh Cemetery, Rathfarnham. The 1978 RHA Exhibition featured a small memorial collection of his work.[6]
Posthumous exhibitions of his paintings were held by The Grafton Gallery, Dublin (1986) and the Electricity Supply Board (1987). Sean Keating – The Pilgrim Soul, a documentary presented and written by his son, the politician Justin Keating, aired on RTÉ in 1996.[6]
