Patrick O’Connor. Painter of Portraits. Dublin: Three Candles, [1941]. First Edition. Blue cloth boards, in dust jacket. Jacket frayed & worn, otherwise a fine bright copy.

Short biography of fifteen pages followed by seventeen portrait plates.

Patrick O’Connor was a brother of the artist, Roderic O’Connor. He lived variously in London and Dublin before settling in Palm Beach Florida, near his brother Roderic, where he died in in 1997.

Seamus Burke referred to O’Connors’ portraits as having “the fire of truth, he excels in getting the likeness, the expression or the grace of an attitude…His realism is strong and direct…”
