Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Claude Hayes, Landscape Painter in Oil and Water-Colour, Born 1852, Died 1922
In reading the life histories of artists, one is struck with the fact that almost invariably their artistic aspirations have been opposed by their families. It might be thought that Claude Hayes would have been one of the exceptions to the rule, for he inherited his talent from his father, Edwin Hayes, r.i., the distinguished Marine painter Born in Dublin in the year 1852, from his earliest boyhood the lad was determined to follow in his father's footsteps and never lost an opportunity of practising drawing. His father wished him to follow a business career and gave him no encouragement in his desire to be an artist. This must, in the light of subsequent events, have been because he did not recognise at that time his son's genius.
