An entirely untutored artist, C. Edward Gribbon's work bares comparison to the primitive Tory Islander school of painters and like them, has been praised for its vibrancy and freshness of outlook. Gribbon was born in Belfast, but early in his life travelled to a Swiss sanatorium for his
health. By the 1920s he was living in France, where he remained more or less for the rest of his life. He exhibited in France, London and Dublin (at the Angus Gallery, which showed the work of many struggling, little-known artist and at Daniel Egan's Gallery) and won the support and admiration of many fellow artists including Sir John Lavery. See Snoddy, pp. 155-156.
