Colin Middleton

Colin Middleton was born in Belfast in 1910, a city then at the very height of its industrial, economic and social expansion. The artist lived, worked and painted in Belfast almost continuously until 1947, all while the city survived the Great Depression, the Second World War and the Belfast Blitz, as well as episodes of social unrest. In the 1930s and 1940s, Colin Middleton established a reputation as arguably the most progressive artist working in Ireland. He quickly came to be regarded as one of the leading Irish painters of his generation.
