Sketches

A study of O’Callahan’s sketches allows an intimate glimpse of his personality and free style. His drawings are powerful, expressionistic, and reveals the impact and strong influence the modern European ideas had on him.

A critic from the New York Herald in Paris describes O’Callahan’s style as a simple and unobtrusive search for freshness, “… his process of simplification is not so much an elimination of detail as the putting down of that which registered most naturally and unforcedly to the painter’s eye.”
