The Little Green Fields (1945) by Gerard Dillon (1916-1971)
The Little Green Fields (1945) by Gerard Dillon (1916-1971) shows the small fields bounded by stone walls, that typified the west of Ireland. In each section, Dillon places symbolic characteristics of Irish culture, like potatoes or high crosses. The child-like ‘naïve’ style is a deliberate method of suggesting a simple, unsophisticated, and unspoiled way of life. Courtesy of the National Gallery of Ireland
