The Circus by Jack B Yeats.
It is incredible to think that August 2021 is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Jack B Yeats. The renowned painter came into the world at 23 Fitzroy Road, London, the last child of the artist John Butler Yeats and his wife Susan (née Pollexfen).
Jack B Yeats spent his early years moving with his family between London, Dublin and Sligo as his father struggled to establish himself as an artist.
From 1879 to 1887, he lived in Sligo with his maternal grandparents and today, in that town, there exists a sizeable number of pieces of his work at The Model, currently home to a pair of exhibitions of his work.
