Campbell, George (Irish, 1917-1979), Fishing Boats, Inishlacken, c.1951, oil on artist's board, signed lower right, 18 x 24 inches, in a wood frame 25 x 31 inches. Provenance: Guy Dixon Collection; Victor Waddington Galleries, Dublin; exhibited Irish Exhibition of Living Art, 1951. A contemporary review of the Irish Exhibition by I. T. Quin in The Irish Monthly mentions a "strikingly effective" work by George Campbell titled Night: Island Harbour, which is perhaps his own made up title for this piece. Inishlacken is an island in Galway, Ireland where Campbell lived for the summer of 1951 with Gerard Dillon and James MacIntyre. MacIntyre published a book about that summer titled "Three Men on an Island." Campbell was a founding member of the Progressive Painters Group and of the NI branch of the Artists' International Association.
