No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Small folding card with illustration of a Bookstall at the Ormond Market, Dublin. Attractive image and rare item. Limerick born Fergus O'Ryan RHA ANCA (1911-1989) was also one of the Fingal Artists in Dublin. He lived in North County Dublin. Interestingly Before taking up painting full-time he w…as an Aer Lingus pilot on long-haul routes (707s/747s) including North America, the Caribbean, West Africa, the Middle East and Europe, from 1966 until 1994. This afforded not only opportunity for drawing, but access to a wide range of art institutions, museums and art literature resources, as well as opportunity to participate in art programmes overseas. After early retirement Fergus Ryan graduated from Trinity College Dublin in theology and biblical studies, which added to an appreciation of the development of art, philosophy, and the ideas that contributed to the development of Western civilisation. Fergus Ryan's principal influences have included 19th century landscape British and French painters, and, especially, the 20th century American realist painter Andrew Wyeth. The artist spent the summer of 2013 in a masterclass in Italy with the noted Israeli painter Israel Hershberg, following the Italian footsteps of Corot and the Grand Tourists, and has studied for shorter periods with numerous well-known American painters, including the portrait painter David Kassan, the egg tempera master Koo Schadler, and the luminist painter Joseph McGurl. Fergus Ryan's work has been exhibited in the Royal Hibernian Academy's annual exhibition since 2008, and at Greenacres Gallery in Wexford. His painting 'Lightkkeeper' was acquired at the RHA by the Government of Ireland and is in the State's collection at Aras an Uachtarain (the Presidential residence). His work includes both landscape and figure in oils and in the revived medieval medium of egg tempera.
