Work by the late great Cork artist Maurice Desmond at auction

Whyte's sale of affordable art by well-known Irish artists designed to attract new collectors without breaking the bank, writes Des O'Sullivan

Abstract Landscape by Maurice Desmond at Whyte's.

Viewers can lose themselves in the work of the Cork-based artist Maurice Desmond, who sadly left us on June 30. Just look and keep on looking and it is surprising what you can find in his art. 

When Maurice was on song, a five-minute visit to his studio could last an entire afternoon without ever knowing or even noticing where the time had gone.
