Spanish Interior
Pastel and pencil, 38 x 30cm (15 x 11.8”)
Born in Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim in Northern Ireland, Arthur Arm-
strong studied architecture at Queen’s University Belfast for two years
before transferring to Belfast College of Art. He travelled to England,
France and Spain but it was the landscape of the west of Ireland which
most inspired his landscapes although, like his friend George Campbell,
the culture and light of Spain also left an indelible mark on his work.
He began to exhibit at the Grafton Gallery in Dublin from 1950 and
subsequently exhibited in Belfast, England, Spain and the United States.
