Jack B. Yeats

Jack Butler Yeats RHA (29 August 1871 – 28 March 1957) was an Irish artist. Born into a family of impoverished Anglo-Irish landholders, his father was the painter John Butler Yeats, and his brother was the poet W. B. Yeats. His early oil paintings are heavily influenced by Romanticism, before he adopted Expressionism about 1910, for which he became famous.
