Andrew MacCormac

Andrew MacCormac (23 December 1826 – 13 August 1918) was a portrait painter in South Australia.

Andrew was born on 23 December 1826[1] in Banbridge, County Down,[2] Ireland and studied at Lee's Academy in London.

Andrew was persuaded to come to Australia by the G. C. King , Town clerk of Melbourne, who was in England lobbying to stop the transportation of convicts to Victoria.

He published one small volume of verse Via Crucis; or Death and Life[5] dedicated to Lord Hallam Tennyson.

He attempted painting landscapes, but those he exhibited at the Adelaide Easel Club, of which he was a member, were received without enthusiasm.
