    Joseph McWilliams PPRUA (1938-2015)Orange Men and IndiansOil on canvas, 152 x 201cm (59¼ x 79)Signed and dated 1991; inscribed with title versoMcWilliams had for a long time been stimulated to paint the Twelfth of July marches in different parts of Belfast. This work, early as it may seem, is part of a series of works which had its culmination in a group of works collectively known as 'Orangemen Leaving Church', which McWilliams began in the mid-1990s. To the left is clearly seen a figure of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, now known as the Police Service of Northern Ireland, no doubt ostensibly in charge of this part of the march. Given the high-rise building in the background the setting for the scene seems to be central Belfast. The banners in the parade can also be seen as the marchers wind their way to ‘the field’, where they will listen to political speeches. The symbolism implicit in the ‘Cul de sac road ends ’ sign is no doubt intentional. As always, paintings by McWilliams of this time are very colourful and bright.Dr SB Kennedy November 2016

He began lecturing in art education at the Ulster Polytechnic in 1973 and later became senior lecturer. He opened the Cavehill Gallery in 1986 in Belfast with his wife Catherine, while the continuing success of his own pictures saw him elected RUA in 1994 and President of the Academy from 2000 to 2004. Due to the political content of much of McWilliams's work he has often been compared to Rita Duffy.
