Patrick Tuohy

Patrick Joseph Tuohy (1894 – 1930) was an Irish portrait, narrative, and genre painter.

Born in Dublin, 1894 with a severely deformed left hand, Tuohy was the son of a doctor from poor origins in County Mayo. [ [http://www.phryne.com/artists/84-16-98.HTM] Tuohy at Phryne. Retrieved Apr. 18, 2008.] His artistic talent was spotted by Padraig Pearse, who encouraged his father to enroll him in the Metropolitan School of Art. He was taught by William Orpen and became a professor of painting and a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy. He became associated with the Republican movement and was selected by James Joyce to paint his father and other family members. His work was admired by Liam O'Flaherty, Austin Clarke and Sean Keating, as well as many others. [Murphy, Patrick J. Patrick Tuohy: From Conversations With His Friends. Townhouse, Dublin. 2004. Retrieved Apr. 18, 2008.] Tuohy suffered from manic depression yet his artwork exhibits a calm and consistent realism. He moved to Columbia, South Carolina in 1927 thereafter settling in New York and died tragically, committing suicide by gas in 1930.
