Timeline
Terence Philip Flanagan PPRUA HRUA RHA MBE (15 August 1929 – 22 February 2011) was a landscape painter and teacher from Northern Ireland.
Terry Flanagan was born on 15 August 1929 in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
He was the eldest of seven children, whom were raised by two aunts after their mother died at a young age.
Flanagan received a general education from the Presentation Brothers at St Michael's College, Enniskillen between the years 1943 to 1949.
Flanagan took up painting in his teens and learned the art of watercolour painting from the local portraitist and landscape artist Kathleen Bridle in night classes at Enniskillen Technical College.
He attended Belfast College of Art from 1949 until 1953 studying under Romeo Toogood, John Luke and Tom Carr.
Flanagan showed one oil painting Deirdre at the 1953 Oireachtas Exhibition in Dublin but waited until 1969 to contribute another, Inbhear.
Flanagan joined Wilfred Stewart and Lewis Logan for a three-man show at Belfast's CEMA Gallery in February 1954 when he exhibited a number of works including Twilight, Howard Street which he showed three months later at the Ulster Arts Club.
In 1954 Flanagan also participated in his first annual Royal Ulster Academy of Arts exhibition, showing three works, two flower paintings and one landscape.
After his graduation, Flanagan taught at the Convent of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Lisburn and the Assumption Convent in Ballynahinch, County Down, before obtaining a full-time post at St. Mary's College of Education in 1955 where he stayed for 29 years until his retirement in 1984.
He contributed two works to the annual exhibitions in both 1955 and 1956.
The Committee for the Encouragement of Music and Art gave Flanagan his first one-man show hosted by the Piccolo Gallery, Belfast in November 1958.
In 1959 Flanagan married the actress Sheelagh Garvan of the Lyric Players.
By the 1960s Flanagan had carved out a successful and parallel career as an artist, and his family became close to poet Seamus Heaney's family.
In 1960 Flanagan was appointed one of seven trustees of the newly formed Lyric Players Trust including Deborah Brown and John Hewitt, a position he was to hold for five years.
That same year he displayed his work at the new CEMA Gallery.
In 1961 Flanagan was patronised with a one-man show at CEMA's Chicester Street Gallery of which the Belfast Telegraph's Kenneth Jamison writes,"'Light is the artist's theme, its flux rain-filtered over moist fields, spilling an irregular pattern on low lough-side hills, mirrored again from the still lough's face...Always one is conscious of the infinite subtle modulations of light and colour. He does not refine forms. Rather he simplifies in terms of light and paint to reveal the sheer mood and poetry of the experience; but there is nothing casual about the structure of his pictures.'"Flanagan produced the set for the Lyric's production of JM Synge's Deirdre of the Sorrows in 1963.
Flanagan had a one-man exhibition at the Richie Hendricks Gallery in Dublin and showed two works at the Irish Exhibition of Living Art's twenty-fifth anniversary show in 1964.
He showed in the Four Ulster Painters exhibition at the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol in 1964.
He became Head of Art at St. Mary's in 1965.
The Arts Council of Northern Ireland's gallery was the venue for Flanagan's 1966 solo exhibition.
Flanagan painted Boglands (for Seamus Heaney) in 1967 which formed part of his Gortahork Series.
Heaney reciprocated in writing Bogland: for TP Flanagan published in the collection entitled Door into the Dark of 1969.
Seamus Heaney, for whom he painted various pieces, described Flanagan as being in tune "with the notion of an earthly paradise and hence the radiance of the painting is entirely this-worldly...and always there has been that necessary painterly hedonism."
Flanagan donated a picture to an exhibition to raise funds for victims of civil disturbances in Belfast in the autumn of 1969.
He exhibited regularly at Oireachtas throughout the 1970s and beyond.
Deborah Brown invited Flanagan on to the committee to oversee an arts bursary scheme set-up in memory of patron of the arts, Alice Berger-Hammerschlag in 1970 which aided many younger artists to travel and to purchase equipment and materials.
In 1971, his work was included in the international exhibition, ROSC: The Irish Imagination in Dublin.
Kathleen Bridle was reunited with her two most famous students in 1973 when the Arts Council of Northern Ireland staged a touring exhibition of her works alongside Flanagan and William Scott.
Flanagan was later awarded the Oireachtas painting prize in 1974.
The wife of the Northern Irish Secretary of State Colleen Rees was the curator of a personal selection of works from Ulster Artists hosted at the Leeds Playhouse Gallery in 1976.
In 1977 the Arts Council of Northern Ireland held a solo exhibition of his work from 1967-1977.
Flanagan was part of a consortium of forty well-known Ulster names who attempted to win the Independent Television franchise for Northern Ireland in 1979.
He became an Associate of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1983.
In 1984 the National Self-Portrait Gallery purchased a Flanagan self-portrait alongside fellow Northerners Brian Ballard, Brian Ferran and F. E. McWilliam.
Flanagan was resident artist at Sligo Art Gallery for the duration of the 1991 Yeat's Summer School.
