Louis le Brocquy was born in Dublin in 1916. From 1934 to 1938 he studied Chemistry at Trinity College, Dublin and began painting in 1939. He typically painted in a delicate manner with layered washes of rich colour emerging from flat white backgrounds to build up images through a series of irregular geometric planes that suggest the movement of light over his subjects. le Brocquy represented Ireland at the 1956 Venice Biennale, where he won the Premio Acquisito Internationale, and at the Fifty Years of Modern Art exhibition at the 1958 Brussels World Fair. He became the first person to be awarded the IMMA/Glen Dimplex Lifetime Achievement Award for a sustained contribution to the arts in Ireland in 1994 and in the same year he was elected Saoi of Aosdána. Le Brocquy was also an Honorary member of the RHA.
