Note

Seán O’Connor was a notable landscape artist whose subject matter predominately focused on the natural environment around his native Killarney in County Kerry. Having spent some time in the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, O’Connor exhibited at the Munster Fine Art Exhibition in Cork in 1940. A year later he obtained a studio in the Town Hall in Killarney and for the next fifty years painted and exhibited at this location. He exhibited with the Royal Hibernian Academy gallery in 1945 and 1946 and from 1946 to 1990 with the Watercolour Society of Ireland.
