George W. Russell (AE ),- His Life, Paintings and Impact on Irish CultureIntroductionGeorge William Russell (), poet, painter, statesman and patron ofmany. George Russell definitely was all of those things. But why is itthat I, a visiting school- years child from the far North, takes such an interestin a man who condescension his greatness not many people outside Ireland hasheard of.
