Son of a boiler maker John Luke became one
of Ulster's best-known painters. He studied in Belfast and London
and thereafter spent most of his career in Belfast, with the exception of
a period during the second world war when he stopped painting for a time
and retired to a cottage in Co. Armagh, earning his living by teaching art
at Manor House school. In the mid-1930s, he adopted the highly precise and
stylised technique of painting which has become virtually synonymous with
his name. |
