About the artist:
Patrick Leonard was born in 1918 in Rush, Co. Dublin. From 1936 to 1941 he studied intermittently at the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin, under Sean Keating P.R.H.A., and Maurice MacGonigal P.R.H.A.
Patrick Leonard first exhibited at the RHA in 1941; he was elected associate member in 1942 and an honorary member in 1983. Bouts of illness plagued the artist throughout his life and often interrupted his work as an artist and art teacher.
In the earlier part of his career, Patrick Leonard exhibited regularly at the Victor Waddington Galleries, Dublin. In 1979 he held a solo show at the Oriel Gallery, Dublin and in 1990 the Gorry Gallery, Dublin held a large retrospective of his works. The artist died in 2005.
