No Matter, the narrator (a Jack Yeats self-portrait) and his sometime friend Bowsie, rambling without much purpose from one hamlet to another in a coastal region of the West of Ireland—Yeats does not say exactly where, and is obviously concerned that specificity should not destroy the representativeness of the events.
Jack Yeats’s main aim in writing the novel is to present the idiosyncrasies of individuals and place them in the context of a subtle and indirect critique of the romance genre that so captivated him.
Yeats shows us, like his brother W.B., that life is neither tragic nor comic if it is truly lived, although it may assume a predominantly tragic or comic colouring in the memory, or in the imagination, or in the retelling.

George Yeats encouraged her husband's single-minded devotion to poetry and was without doubt his severest and most helpful critic.

The least recognized of all of John Butler Yeats’s children, Elizabeth Corbet Yeats spent much of her life, to varying degrees, in the shadows of her world-renown poet brother William B. Yeats, of her other brother, the successful painter Jack Yeats, and of her sister Susan Yeats, the "favorite" daughter of the family.
She also envied Jack’s position as a recognized painter and a married man, somewhat independent from the family, although her relationship with Jack was probably the warmest.
William Butler Yeats was the literary editor of a press created and maintained by his sister, who would spend most of her time thinking about her works as well as "getting her thoughts" through it.

Jack B Yeats is unarguably Ireland's most famous painter, and he loved his country with a rare passion, one which shines through his paintings.
Where W.B. Yeats was the most public of men, active in both literature and politics, his brother was determinedly private, remaining aloof from public life and avoiding public utterances.
An additional complication is that Jack Yeats carried the same name as his father, John Butler Yeats, who, to add still further to the potential for confusion, was also a painter.

A text which follows the life and work of Jack B. Yeats - arguably Ireland's most famous painter - from his colourful family background, through his early days as a line illustrator, to the latter years when his originality and use of colour earned him comparisons with Titian and Giorgone.

Waddington held his first Yeats exhibition at his Dublin gallery in 1943 and continued in his self-appointed role as the “Yeats man” after the artist’s death, opening his London gallery with a show called Later Works in 1958.
Yeats never made the leap into abstract expressionism that marked art in America after the second world war, but he pushed expressionism to the edge of abstraction in some later works.

 A Country of the Mind
Jack's early independence (forged in the crucible of his Pollexfen grandparents' home in Sligo, where he spent much of his childhood) allows Arnold to compose an adroit narrative in which the painter's elder brother, during both their lives altogether the more famous man, is allowed to make carefully managed entries.
And where W. was religiously heterodox and chose not to be limited sexually by the bonds of matrimony, Jack was a lifelong churchgoer and faithful husband (Arnold disappointingly fails to develop an insight that he was attracted as an artist to biblical themes).
Given Jack Yeats's commitment to the cause of Irish separatism, it is understandable that some of his key works have attracted political analysis.

 To be loved as a cupboard: the Yeats Museum in the National Gallery of Ireland - Cover Eire-Ireland:Journal of Irish ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Yeats may have had little interest in Titian; but if he remained outside the National Gallery in preference to going inside, he had a natural acquisitive instinct all his life, seeing memorabilia of every kind as worthy of preservation to aid the muse.
It is a measure of the vision of Nora Niland, museum founder (she was County Librarian and therefore especially interested in W. Yeats's publications), that she also managed to assemble some very important paintings by Jack Yeats and other artists, being conscious that contemporaneous art was an essential adjunct to the writings.
A Jack B. Yeats Museum locates naturally in Dublin since (though he claimed that every picture he painted had a thought of Sligo in it) the artist lived for half of his life in the capital, and he painted historically significant aspects of the city when Ireland was at last attaining political independence.
