George Galway MacCann ARCA (1909-1967) CONSTRUCTION ON A KITCHEN DOOR oil and collage elements on panel signed lower right; inscribed on reverse 16½ x 23in. (41.91 x 58.42cm) Collection of George and Maura McClelland George Galway MacCann, was a sculptor, muralist and stage designer born in Belfast to David, a monumental sculptor and his wife Elizabeth. He studied at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution from 1920-26 and at the Belfast school of Art under Seamus Stoupe 1926-29, where he met fellow art student and his future wife Mercy Hunter. In 1929 he won a major scholarship to the Royal College of Art, London. He was awarded a prize for sculpture in 1932, on the recommendation of his lecturer, Henry Moore. On his return to Belfast MacCann exhibited at a show of sculpture and painting with William Coonor, Margaret Yeames and Joy McKean in November 1933. The following year MacCann and Yeames joined with members of the recently formed Northern Ireland Guild of Artists, including Elisabeth Clements, Colin Middleton, John Luke and Romeo Toogood, and established the Ulster Unit. At the Unit's only exhibition, in November 1934, MacCann showed abstracted paintings and two stone sculptures that illustrated the influence of his teacher Henry Moore. MacCann received his first public commission, a carved panel for above the entrance of Avoniel Primary School, in 1935. While living in County Armagh he worked as an art teacher at the Royal School Armagh and Portadown College, and from 1938-39 he was head of sculpture at the Belfast School of Art. During WWII MacCann served in Burma as a captain in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. During the 1940s, MacCann was depicted in his Inniskilling uniform by Sydney Smith - a painting now in the collection of the Armagh County Museum. From 1946 MacCann taught at Sullivan Upper School, Holywood. In the 1950s MacCann garnered several commissions and was represented at CEMA's exhibition of sculpture at the Belfast Museum and Art Gallery in 1953 where his work was shown alongside Henry Moore, Lynn Chadwick, Barbara Hepworth, Jacob Epstein and Uli Nimptsch. MacCann and Mercy Hunter were well known and highly regarded in Belfast's art and literary circles. They collaborated on costume designs for the Patricia Mulholland Irish Ballet and some of these designs can be found in the Grand Opera House, Belfast. A solo show of his work was held at the New Gallery, Belfast in 1963 and he also exhibited at the IELA in Dublin. In 1964 he was elected associate of the Royal Ulster Academy. A memorial exhibition was arranged by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland at Queen's University in 1968. For further reading see Snoddy, p.364-365
