His work was eclectic in style, which did not please some critics, and reflected a range of influences from early Dutch art to the pre-Raphaelites to abstract art.
Known for his meticulous approach, he was seen as a romantic painter possessed of the old fashioned virtues of discipline and care.
Jack Cudworth’s work was selected for Royal Hibernian Academy and Oireachtas exhibitions as well as the Irish Exhibition of Living Art. He later exhibited with the Royal Academy and Royal Scottish Academy. His paintings are included in collections held by RTÉ, Bank of Ireland and the Office of Public Works
