Jack B. Yeats is probably the greatest painter Ireland has ever produced, although he is often overshadowed somewhat by his more famous brother, the poet W. B. Yeats. First published to great acclaim in 1993, this is one of very few popular books on Yeat's work. With more than 100 colour plates and 175 black and white illustrations, it is an authoritative and glorious appreciation of Yeats's vast and varied output.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Very disappointing illustrations,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Jack B. Yeats (Hardcover)
The majority of the illustrations in this book are in black and white, and those in color are consistently very muddy reproductions. Therefore, if you are tempted to buy this book because you are interested in the looking at Yeats's painting rather than in the extensive biographical and critical text, this book is quite likely to disappoint - and particularly at the price. If you are familar with the catalog that was part of the Centenary Exhibition of his paintings and drawings you will know that they can be reproduced with stunning effect.

A good referance book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Art of Jack B. Yeats (Hardcover)
Although not 100% professionally done, informative an rather good quality. If only I could understand why majority of excellent paintings are black & white coloured despite of 2003 dated print. Was it so difficult to find original coloured ones?
In general a valuable reference book but black & white paintings are by far away from being sources.
