More About The Artist: William Keyes MacDonnell became involved in the independence movement in his home town, founding a Volunteer group in Bandon in 1913, following this his family lost most of their loyalist customers. During the war of independence, the family mill became a target for Crown forces. It was at this time William had to leave Ireland, studying art in the London Slade School of Art until the secret service caught up with him, whereupon he moved with his wife Kathleen to Munich, not returning until the end of the war. His works are mainly of the local cork area, and prove popular with Irish art collectors.
