DescriptionCecil King is one of Ireland’s most significant modern artists, with a strong association with Hugh Lane Gallery. His first retrospective was held at the Gallery in 1981 and he was Vice Chairman of the Rosc exhibition when the gallery hosted Rosc ’77, one of a series of international art exhibitions held between 1967 and 1988. This group of works on paper, spanning from the early 1960s to the mid- 1980s, complements the Gallery’s collection of King’s paintings and prints. While his palette and style of mark-making evolved of the decades, King’s combination of delicate line with large areas of colour remained consistent.
