"Frank Barry, was born in 1913 and had a fascinating career. During WWII, he was an RAF reconnaissance officer in the Far East, after which he went to Art School in London, before emigrating with his family in 1963 to Canada where he taught at Concordia University in Montreal. He continued painting in his long retirement, living until he was 100. His works are displayed in several public collections in Canada, including McGill University and the National Gallery. Frank Barry said of his own work that he was "concerned with the relationship between painted shape and solid form, between illusory space and real space."
