Markey Robinson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Markey Robinson (born Belfast 7 February 1918, died Belfast 28 January 1999) was a prolific Irish painter with a distinctive naïve expressionist style.
He painted the inhabited countryside with flat muted colour and, in his almost abstract, almost geometrical compositions he seemed to capture the easy relationship between beauty and sadness. He was the son of a house painter and spent time as a boxer and as a merchant sailor. In his early career he was championed by the Oriel Gallery in Dublin.
