Baird. He first exhibited at the RHA in 1939 and five years later held a joint show with his brother at the Mol Gallery, Belfast. In the same year both brothers produced Now in Ulster (1944), with articles, photographs and illustrations by Arthur Campbell. His first one-man show was held in 1950, organised by CEMA (Council for the Encouragement of Music and Art). Shortly afterwards the Ulster Museum purchased four works for their collection. Campbell frequently used a camera as a visual aid for his painting, and his photographs of old Dublin and Belfast were exhibited alongside his watercolours in a retrospective exhibition held by the Northern Irish Arts Council in 1984.
