Roderick O'Conor

The Irish painter Roderic O'Conor was a pivotal figure in the post-impressionist movement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Aligning with the Pont-Aven School, his work thrived in France amidst the artistic revolution of the 1880s and 1890s. 

O'Conor's artistic methodology was profoundly influenced by his time in France, spanning nearly five decades. His signature technique, characterized by thick, adjacent strokes of rich, contrasting colors, owes much to the discoveries of the Divisionists and Vincent Van Gogh

His journey also included a transformative Parisian period beginning in 1886, marked by experimentation and innovation. Later, his Bretagne sojourn from 1891 to 1904 was interspersed with managing inherited estates back in Ireland, which allowed him financial independence from his painting sales. O'Conor's final years from 1934 until his passing in 1940 were spent in Nueil-sur-Layon.
