Theo Snoddy

For twenty-five years Theo Snoddy was Art Critic for the Belfast News Letter.

This long anticipated second edition of Dictionary of Irish Artists 20th Century is the most comprehensive reference book on twentieth-century Irish artists ever published. It is an invaluable source for collectors, dealers, researchers and students, and is regarded as the definitive work for anyone interested in this field of modern art.

Now with 600 entries, over 100 of them new, the book encompasses the works of painters, sculptors, creators of works of stained glass, etchers, designers and artists of every description. It provides an extensive survey of both the major and less celebrated figures of the past century, from Walter F. Osbourne to Markey Robinson. Each entry includes biographical information and listings of institutions where artists' works have been exhibited and may be found today.

Now Art Adviser to Ulster Television, Theo organises exhibitions of pictures from the company’s collection and is a sought-after speaker at diverse venues across Ireland.
