Archibald McGoogan

Archibald McGoogan is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Ireland.

This painter made oil-on-canvas scenes of city life right after World War I. Their piece After the Bombardment (1916) shows a shell-shocked street still smoldering, with broken windows and a lone lamppost standing against the sky. The brushwork is rough, the colors muted, more photograph than pretty picture. Tap the painting to zoom in on the smoke haze and the way light catches the twisted metal.
