¿Quién se casó con Imogen Stuart?

Imogen Stuart (née Werner; 25 May 1927 – 24 March 2024) was a German-Irish sculptor, influenced by Expressionism and early Irish Christian art. She mainly produced wood and stone for settings for churches but also created many secular works, and was exhibited internationally.

Born and raised in pre-war Berlin as the daughter of the art critic Bruno E. Werner, she was exposed from an early age to modern developments in the visual arts, which had a significant influence on her later work. She studied in Bavaria under the sculptor and professor Otto Hitzberger, who became her main mentor. She met fellow Hitzberger student and Irish sculptor Ian Stuart while in Bavaria in 1948. The couple moved to Ireland in 1949, at first living at his parents' house in Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, before moving to Sandycove, Co. Dublin. Ian Stuart was the grandson of the Irish republican revolutionary Maud Gonne. The couple married in 1951, had three daughters but separated in 1970 and divorced later.

During her long career, Imogen became one of Ireland's most renowned sculptors, with her work placed in both public spaces and private collections throughout Europe and the U.S.
