The Only Art - Jack B. Yeats (Hardcover)

This collection includes previously unpublished letters from Jack to his father, John Quinn 'The Man from New York' and Sarah Purser. Introduced by Bruce Stewart of the University of Coleraine, the work is edited by Sligo-man Declan J. Foley, originator and organizer of three John Butler Yeats seminars in Chestertown (JBY's burial ground) New York in 2001, 2004 and 2007. The book contains drawings and illustrations by Jack B. Yeats, and for the first time shows the six works he exhibited at the Armory Show in New York. Most vitally, it will introduce Jack and his prodigal father John Butler Yeats to a new generation of readers.
