| Conor Walton: Bruce Arnold's Essay (976 words) |
| Bruce Arnold is the author of fourteen books, including a history of Irish art, and biographies of three Irish painters; William Orpen, Mainie Jellet and Jack Yeats. |
| Concentration of thought, paralleled by dedication to skill in composition and the application of paint, was central to the development of Conor Walton's output during these years at the end of the last decade, and led to his outstanding, and outstandingly successful solo exhibition in March 1999 in Dublin. |
| His brother, Martin Walton, wrote about him from a closer personal point of view, referring to “an angry lucidity” and “a kind of vertical sadness”, and the message being delivered by these epithets seemed to me to explain some of the strength his appeal as a painter has. |
