About the Item

Christmas Card (Red), Gouache and Collage Painting by Breon O'casey Additional information: Medium: Gouache and collage 10.2 x 14.2 cm 4 x 5 5/8 in Born in London 1928, Breon O’Casey was the son of the actor Eileen Reynolds and the playwright Sean O'Casey. In 1937 the family moved to Totnes where Breon O'Casey thrived at Dartington Hall School. Dartington was founded by Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst, who had a vision of a Utopian community which combined the working of the land with the life of the spirit through the arts. The emphasis the school placed on physical activities and skills, considering them equally important to academic skills, was crucial to him. At Dartington O’Casey learnt “to think with my hands as well as my head.” After National Service he attended the Anglo-French Art Centre in St John’s Wood. For years he struggled to survive as an artist. After hearing about the painter Alfred Wallis in St Ives he was inspired to live in the artist community in Cornwall. There he had his own studio but he also worked part time as a studio assistant to Dennis Mitchell and Barbara Hepworth. Breon O'Casey was a painter, sculptor and silversmith. He was seventy years old before he was able to devote himself entirely to painting and sculpture. His works can now be found in the permanent collections of The Hermitage Museum, Kettle’s Yard, Leed’s Museum and Art Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, Houston Museum of Fine Arts, amongst many others.
