A major retrospective of the work of internationally renowned painter William Crozier (1930-2011) is currently on show at IMMA, the Irish Museum of Modern Art.

Crozier is best known for the lyrical landscapes he made close to his home in West Cork from the mid-1980s. This exhibition presents these familiar works against a backdrop of his early work inspired by the Existentialist Movement and the anxieties of the post-war period.
