Charles Brady (27 July 1926–1 August 1997) was an American painter who was born and trained in New York and spent most of his life in Ireland.
He had his first solo exhibition in the Urban Gallery in 1955 but felt at this time that his life was becoming too confused; As he wrote later: ″I was really lost.
He returned to New York in 1958 but in 1959 he moved back to Ireland and settled there for good, first in Dublin and then Dún Laoghaire.
As one critic wrote: ″...his speciality is the raising of an object - every day or of vague historical interest [.
- to the intensity of aesthetic experience by the use of subtly simplified composition and muted colours.″[2] Charles Brady married Eelagh Noonan in 1960.
