Jack Butler Yeats- ConclusionJack Butler Yeats was a respected
Irish painter who lived for eighty-six years. Throughout his life as a painter, his style changed and became more free with less
linearity. Yeats’ love for Ireland can be seen throughout multitudes of his paintings as well as vivid colors, a set color scheme,
free, thick, careless brush strokes, and non-distinct subjects in his later years.
