Irish-born artist Cathal Brendan O’Toole was known for his paintings, engravings and etchings including Chariot (1936). O’Toole first began to study fine art at the Glasgow School of Art before moving to New York to become a commercial artist after a stint as captain in the Irish Republican Army. O’Toole continued his studies in New York City at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. Later, he started his career teaching at Finch Junior College. During his lifetime O’Toole received much sponsorship for his work, including two Tiffany Foundation fellowships and the Pulitzer Traveling Scholarship in 1934.
