    Oisín Kelly, 1915–1981

    Irish sculptor Oisín Kelly attended Trinity College Dublin and the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. He also studied under Henry Moore between 1948 and 1949. Kelly has worked with a range of materials and is now best known for his public sculptures in bronze, notably ‘The Children of Lir’ and ‘James Larkin’ in Dublin’s city centre. In 1978, a major exhibition of his sculpture toured the Ulster Museum, the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin and the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork.
