" ...under the influence of sunlight effects and the tidal influences on moon and sun, the very vast shapes of the mountains, appear transparent. It's a mirage but a miraculous one ..."
'This self-taught artist has come to be recognised both at home and internationally as the foremost Irish painter of the 20th century.'
(The Irish Times)
'Le Brocquy belongs to a category of artists who have always existed - obsessed by figuration outside and on the other side of illustration - who are aware of the vast and potent possibilities of inventing ways by which fact and appearance can be reconjugated.'
(Francis Bacon)
