Joseph Poole Addey

A student of both the RDS Drawing School and the Cork School of Art, J. Poole Addey later became the first Head Master of the Londonderry School of Art. In the latter half of his life he lived mostly in Dublin, working as a tutor to students of the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. Source: whytes.ie He often took outdoor sketching classes at Rathfarnham Castle during the summer holidays. He also regularly accompanied the Dublin Sketching Club outings to Kingstown (now Dun Laoghaire) and other picturesque spots, offering advice on the technical aspects of drawing and watercolour painting. According to Theo Snoddy (op. Cit.), Addey "could not comprehend how anyone would be unable to copy accurately, with pencil, a simple object". In the last years of his life he moved to London where he taught the principles of perspective to students at the Slade School of Art. A watercolour entitled "View of Haulbowline" (1900) was purchased by the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery in 1992. |
