The chairman of the committee was the Irish poet William Butler Yeats.

He became an official war artist and eventually a chronicler of his times with paintings such as 'The Ratification of the Irish Treaty in the English House of Lords, 1921' and 'Blessing of the Colors: A Revolutionary Soldier Kneeling to the Blessed'.
His most famous work was perhaps that of his wife, Lady Lavery, 'The Red Rose' which was a painting that had a number of incarnations before it forever bore the face of the woman who was to adorn the Irish Pound note for half a century.
So proud of this wonderful interpretation of a girl in a bluebell field was the National Gallery of Ireland that they adopted the image as their logo, only to finally have to accept that the painting was in fact completed by the Englishman Stanley Royle.
