Robert Taylor Carson
"Robert Taylor Carson documented a well-travelled life in paint, from his early years in the Belfast College of Art - where he studied under scholarship from the age of fourteen - to his time travelling Ireland with his young family, and abroad to the United States and Europe. His subject matter is wide-ranging but an interest in people and their way of life is a common thread throughout his oeuvre. In the mid 1940s Taylor Carson became an unofficial war artist capturing the daily life of American troops based in Northern Ireland. This endeavour led to significant portrait commissions in the US. Numerous exhibitions of Taylor Carson's work have taken place throughout Ireland and the UK as well as New York and Chicago. He was also a regular contributor to the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin and the Royal Ulster Academy. Among his contemporaries and friends were Maurice Canning Wilks and Rowel Friers with whom he travelled and painted from counties Donegal to Kerry." www.whytes.ie
