Jack B. Yeats: The Man Who Painted Ireland

A visionary, an enigma - brother to the immortal poet, William - and a story that’s never been told on screen. International bestseller Colm Tóibín undertakes a revelatory and philosophical exploration - powerfully brought to life by narrator Pierce Brosnan - about the legacy of Jack B. Yeats: The Man Who Painted Ireland. Described by The Irish Times as “beautiful and compelling” - the story brings together contributors from Ireland’s sphere of culture and academia – from Historian Prof. Roy Foster and Jack’s biographer Hilary Pyle to comedian Dara O’Briain and Colm Tóibín himself, who discuss Jack’s complex life and major influences - such as family, war, death and horses - that led him to become Ireland’s greatest painter.
