George Campbell RHA (1917-1979)
The Masked Man
Oil on board, 43.5 x 32cm (17¾ x 12½'')

Provenance: From the collection of the late Paddy Walsh, friend of the artist.

After Bloody Sunday and the Abercorn bombing in 1972, George Campbell embarked on a series of paintings, The Belfast Series representing Belfast during the conflict. Friendly with two Journalists, Tom McGurk and Martin Dillon who had photographic evidence of events in 1972, Martin Dillon offered to drive Campbell around Belfast showing him the areas worse affected by the Troubles in 1973. This painting, Masked Figure is part of this series of paintings executed after Campbells trips to Belfast during the conflict in the 1970s.
