Newly-acquired Jack B Yeats painting puts Bloody Sunday in the frame
The National Gallery of Ireland has just bought Jack B Yeats's painting 'Singing The Dark Rosaleen, Croke Park' (1921).
ONE of the few overtly political works painted by Jack B Yeats has been acquired by the National Gallery of Ireland.
Though (1921) does not explicitly reference the shootings at Croke Park on Bloody Sunday in November 1920, the sombre tone evokes the tragedy.
