Born in London, Harry Kernoff moved to Dublin in 1914 and from 1923 until his death in 1974 was a full-time artist when it was neither \"profitable nor fashionable\". Against the odds, Harry Kernoff has left a more encompassing visual record of the Irish experience during the twentieth century than any contemporary painter through his empathic interest in the ordinary people, and especially rank-and-file Dubliners.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Kevin O'Connor provides a revealing look at an extraordinary artist, emphasising Kernoff's humanity, his art and his prolific output. Artist and writer John Ryan says that Kernoff \"issued a continuous flow of paintings of the great, the curious, the famous and the notorious.... No metropolis was ever better served by a graphic recorder: He is our Boswell in paint.\" The value of Kernoff's work has risen dramatically in recent years, as has his reputation.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This lavishly illustrated paperback edition is a fitting tribute to an exceptional artist. \"...fans of Kernoff, old and new, will be delighted to see his work gathered in one place and in such a beautifully produced volume.\" - Katrina Goldstone, The Irish Times","brand":"Winding Stair Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39450782466131,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/0691\/0035\/products\/littlegenius.jpg?v=1631374219","url":"https:\/\/winding-stair-bookshop.myshopify.com\/products\/harry-kernoff-the-little-genius-by-kevin-oconnor","provider":"Winding Stair Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
