Arthur Armstrong: A Centenary Exhibition

Arthur

About

Born in Carrickfergus in 1924, Arthur Armstrong went on to become one of the leading Northern
Irish painters of his generation. Although he came late to art as a career, having originally
started training as an architect, Armstrong found early recognition and was soon part of
the group around Gerard Dillon and George Campbell. His work is in collections including National Museums Northern Ireland, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, Malaga Museum of Fine Arts and Limerick Municipal Art Gallery. This exhibition will bring paintings from the museum's collection together with a substantial number from private collections to create the first notable exhibition of Armstrong's work since an Arts Council of Northern Ireland retrospective in 1980.
