Рет қаралды 215
Tonight we bring you the penultimate episode of #SplendidReflections featuring Mary J. Murphy. Mary is from Galway but has a long association with Achill and wrote about Eva O'Flaherty, a nationalist, parisienne model and patron of the arts who founded the Achill knitting industry, a few years ago. On Saturday, 1st August she launched her latest book called Achill Painters, An Island History. The book looks at the lives and works of the many painters that worked on Achill over the past two hundred years including Paul & Grace Henry, Robert Henri, Derek Hill, Marie Howet, Camille Souter and Louis Le Brocquy to name but a few.

Thank you Mary, congratulations on what looks like a very interesting and lovely book. I’ve not been to Achill Island yet, but God willing, I will someday. Until then I’m going to try and find a copy of Achill Painters.

Hello Madam, I am the great niece of Marie Howet and remember so well when I went to Achill in 1970 (maybe 71) to say hello to Brigit, where my Tante Marie used to stay when she was going over. She did publish a book by Antoine Hamilton, the Irish writer, which she illustrated in 1927 (Histoire de fleur d'Epine). I did bring the book to the IMMAabout 30 yrs ago. I have a few beautifull paintings from Achill here at home, and severel copies of Ara. Now feel I want to go back to Ireland. My Irish roots I guess. Should you send me ur email adress I wud end u a few pictures. Best regards, Françoise Fincoeur
