Henry Robertson Craig
Henry Robertson Craig was a painter with Scottish and Irish roots. He was commonly referred to as Harry by his close friends. He was born in Dumfries Scotland in 1916. His mother's name is unknown as it is not written down anywhere, but she is the topic of several works done by Craig such as a piece of art which was named Mother with Monty and Duke. His father, George Craig is thought to have been a grocer. He received his education at Dundee College where he met a boy from Cork called Patrick Hennesy and then moved to Ireland in 1947. At the age of 30, Craig moved to Ireland, and lived in Crosshaven in 1947 and later in Cobh, being a part of Hennessey's native county, Cork. During World War II, Craig served in the British army, which disallowed him to travel and made him put those plans aside. Despite it being wartime, his skills in art were used to create maps and to design camouflage. He got involved in exhibitions in Dublin showing off his artwork at the Richie Hendriks Gallery and later at the David Hendriks Gallery. He mainly did landscape and portrait painting. Patrick Hennesy is a well-known artist who was an artist around the time of Henry Robertson Craig. He was believed to be more well-known than Craig.
