this early work probably depicts Achill island in the late 1920s. it was possibly one that was intended for the Sarostat Éireann handbook, edited by Bulmer Hobson, who had commissioned quite a number of artists to illustrate those volumes he was editing and producing for the ‘Free State’ (as it was at the time).

Provenance: the Dawson Gallery, Dublin (label verso); Corporate Collection, Dublin.

From the time she entered the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art in 1921 having won a three year scholarship, McGuinness was assured success as an artist. In 1924 she exhibited her first painting at the RHA at the tender age of 23. throughout her life she excelled not only as a landscape painter but also in the fields of design and illustration. In 1929, following the break-up of her marriage, she went off to study in Paris under Andre L’Hote, she came back to settle in London and exhibited widely. in 1940 she returned to ireland. She went on to exhibit with Victor waddington and was to become a founding member of the irish exhibition of Living Art in 1943. in 1950 she was chosen to represent ireland in the Venice Biennale.

Harbour scenes, the irish landscape in all seasons, were favourite subject matter. this particular painting shows McGuinness at her very best.

i was lucky enough to know Collins after he returned to ireland from France in the early 1980s. I was given the job of trying to find an apartment for him in Dublin. things were chaotic in his life at this time and money troubles etc. made life difficult, yet when in the mood Collins could paint in a truly magical way. noted art critic Frances Ruane, was taken by the quality of Collins’ work at an early stage and she worked very hard to get him the recognition he so richly deserved. Another art critic, Brian o’Doherty, described his art as ”perilous and strange; the product of a rare imagination”. A perfect description.

12 caMiLLe souteR HRHa B.1919 Quiet Snow in StePHen’S GReen oil on paper, laid on board, 15¹/8” x 17¾”

(38.5cm x 45cm), signed and dated 1978.

Provenance: taylor Galleries, Dublin.

exhibited: Dublin, taylor Galleries, oireachtas exhibition, 5th - 30th September 1978 (label verso).

Camille Souter is far from prolific; her output is small because she is so scrupulous about quality. unlike so many other artists, she recognises that not everything a painter creates is of the same standard and she chooses to let out only her very best work. However, even among this exceptional body of paintings there are magical ones that epitomise Souter’s delight in what she sees, paintings like Quiet Snow in Stephen’s Green. it captures the feeling of physically being there: the crisp coldness against the skin, the brilliant whiteness against the eyes but, more importantly, the transformation of the normally busy Stephen’s Green into a private, solitary space where ‘quiet’ is made palpable. Souter is often called ‘a painter’s painter’ and the reason for this is evident here, where her treatment of snow demonstrates her innate feel for the most subtle variations of colour and light. She layers paint, animating the surface with glimpses of the underlying colour. the whole effect is of a lightness and liveliness of touch and of a luminous transparency that is perfectly matched to the subject.

20 Louis Le BRocquY HRHa 1916-2012 DiStAnt iMAGe oil on canvas, 57½” x 57½” (146cm x 146cm),

signed and dated 1971 verso, opus no. 297.

exhibited: Gimpel Fils Gallery, London october 1974. Cat no. 16 (label verso). Lunds Konsthall arranged by the Arts Council of northern ireland (label verso). irish Museum of Modern Art, Louis Le Brocquy 1939-1996, october 1996-February 1997.

in the late 60’s and early 70’s, irish art was going through a pivotal change, and Louis Le Brocquy was an integral part of this changing landscape. In the early 1960’s le Brocquy was going through a difficult time, much like a writer who has experienced ‘writers block’. in 1964, he visited the Musée de l’Homme, where he saw ancestral Polynesian clay skull heads with cowrie shells for eyes. these heads were similar to the Celtic head, the embodiment of the human being, which sparked an interest in Celtic art and culture unleashing a flood of ideas and conjuring up the artist’s vivid sense of loneliness of the Paleolithic man, lacking any known past and therefore any conception of his future.

in 1969, northern ireland was rocked by intense political and sectarian rioting which developed into the” troubles.” Le Brocquy’s terrified heads of the early 70’s express this horror with a hand turned palm outwards ordering a halt to this sustained war Executed in 1970, ”Distant image” with others of similar themes ”northern image, 1971”(private collection) depict the anguish and suffering of the people in northern ireland.

in ”Distant image”, the effect of a face emerging slowly in the distance within two delineated squares evokes different emotions from each viewer. in the peering head, dappled red and blue pigment in the outstretched hand and cheekbones add drama to the floating image. The ghostly head is a human form with it’s flickering of flesh colour, isolated in a cloudy substance, eyes tight shut, mouth open aghast, as if suspended, perhaps trapped, perhaps blinded by a watery mist. the viewer waits for the mist to pass, for the face to change to a warmer skin tone, for the palm to turn and beckon us in a welcoming gesture, and in doing so, perhaps the image will submerge complete with eyes wide open, mouth smiling.

In 1981, Dorothy Walker wrote a biography of the artist, and Le Brocquy spoke about his head series ”For over fifteen years I have tried to draw from the depths of paper, or from the white canvas, a human face. As i have remarked, this quiet activity has little to do with communication or with self-expression for that matter. it aims rather to make visible, a lurking image, to identify, to name some trace or aspect of reality…” (quoted by Dorothy walker, a Biography, 1981 published by ward River Press, p.146)

there is no doubt that this is a major work by one of ireland’s most distinguished artists.

executed circa 1929. Jellett had studied with both Andrè L’hote and Albert Gleizes in the early 1920s and their influence is apparent in the combination of bold colour and abstract form in the present work. the curved forms are closely related to Jellett’s series of cubist works based on the Mother and Child theme and also demonstrate her knowledge of Gleizes’s principal of ‘translation’ and ‘rotation’. During the 1920s, she developed compositions from those with a single element rotated on a single axis to more complex compositions with rotations of seven and eight elements.

24 coLin MiDDLeton RHa Rua, 1910-1983 tHe BRiDe oil on canvas, 24” x 20” (61 x 51cm), signed and dated 1938.

Provenance: Christies irish Art Sale, 12th May, 2006 (lot 106), which catalogue entry read:

Middleton commented that, ‘you could say that in the 1930s i was the only surrealist painter working in ireland’ (quoted in exhibition catalogue, Colin Middleton: A Millennium Appreciation, Belfast, eastwood Gallery, 2000, p. 74). He produced a fascinating body of work that was related to european trends of Surrealism but on which Middleton was able to stamp his own distinct mark. He was familiar with the work of english Surrealists including Paul Nash and Tristram Hillier and the influences of other artists, including Dali and de Chirico, are apparent in Middleton’s work. He was also affected by the worsening political climate in europe in the 1930s and the present work, as was another painting of the same title (Collection of George and Maura McClelland at the irish Museum of Modern Art), was painted as a reaction to the Spanish Civil war (see the Hunter Gatherer: the Collection of George and Maura McClelland at the irish Museum of Modern Art, London, 2005, p. 68, no. 57).

Dickon Hall (Colin Middleton: A Study, 2001, p. 18) comments, ‘there is no single manner that dominates Middleton’s surrealist paintings, but there are hallmarks that run through much of this work. the frequent use of the female nude is typical of european surrealism (and seems to be distinct from Middleton’s later interpretation of the female archetype)... but Middleton’s surrealism is not as derivative or irrelevant as is often suggested. Visually it is immediately reminiscent of mainstream european surrealist painting of the pre-war era, but in its content and consistency it comes closer at times to a highly personal and passionate symbolism’.

25 BasiL ivan Rakoczi 1908-1979 wHiSKeY AnD LuLu oil on canvas, 32” x 25½” (81 x 65cm), signed and dated 1966; inscribed verso.

Basil ivan Rákoczi (1908-1978) was born in London to a Hungarian father and an irish mother who came from Cork. Rákoczi took a childhood interest in painting and went on to receive formal training at the Brighton School of Art and at the Academie de la Grand Chamiere in Paris. with a fellow artist Kenneth Hall, Rákoczi founded the white Stag Group. they painted works they described as ”subjective” and exhibited at no. 8 Fitzroy Street, London.

The two friends, both pacifists, came to Ireland at the outbreak of the War in 1939. They rented a cottage at Delphi in county Mayo. in 1940 they returned to Dublin and from no. 6 Lower Baggot Street, under the banner of the white Stag Group, they held several exhibitions. other artists involved in their exhibitions included evie Hone, Mainie Jellet and Patrick Scott.

Rákoczi left ireland in 1946 and eventually settled in Paris. From Paris he exhibited in ireland on many occasions including twenty six works at the irish exhibition of Living Art. He was a highly talented artist with a totally original style.

exhibited: Dublin 1947 (no: 9); Leeds (temple newsham House loan exhibition) 1948; tate Gallery Retrospective, 1948 (no:78).

Provenance: it was bought by Miss Helen McMahon at the exhibition in Dublin in 1947 and loaned by her to the Leeds exhibition and at the tate Gallery. it was acquired by Mrs Gertrude Fuerring in new York thereafter; Private Collection, Belfast; Private Collection, Dublin

this is one of a series of important paintings that Jack B Yeats executed after the death of his wife Cottie in April 1947. This painting was finished in June 1947 and is directly ‘related’ to his two great paintings ”there is no night” and ”the great tent has collapsed” all of which was when he was experiencing deep and irreplaceable loss and the fortitude required to meet it.

the Artist walks alone in the landscape, his head surrounded by the night sky above the low horizon. But the night is rolling away, and the light is breaking out in the east.

28 neviLL JoHnson RHa 1911-1999 tHe wALL oil on canvas, 16” x 20” (40.5 x 51cm), signed with initials.

Probably painted at the very end of the 1940’s, ‘the wall’ appears to have been included in one of the solo or group exhibitions organised by Johnson’s Dublin dealer, Victor waddington, in the uSA during this period and does not appear in the catalogues for his Dublin exhibitions.

the emotional weight and resonance of Johnson’s post-war paintings had by this period been distilled into a detached wit that informed his vision of the world. there is initially an effect of simplicity in the painting’s construction, exactly-painted flat brick wall set against sky, yet as with much of Johnson’s early work, it contains unsettling elements. This dour flatness is disrupted by the tantalising butterfly that has alighted on the wall; as we examine it, the world of weeds and mud on top of the wall becomes clearer and is clarified as an equally crucial part of the painting. it presents a withered landscape of its own that is reminiscent of the post-atomic wildernesses of Johnson’s mid-1940’s work; above it towers a grim industrial chimney that belongs to the soulless modern world of conformity that Johnson despised.

‘The Wall’ clarifies in many ways Johnson’s belief in a beauty and individualism expressed by the butterfly that, however fragile, still exists in defiance of the dehumanised and rigid society that appears to be the dominant force in the world.

Provenance: Sold in 1944, through Victor waddington Galleries, to Mrs. e. o’Malley, later Mrs Helen Hooker Roelofs, Greenwich (Conn.); donated in 1979 to the irish American Cultural institute in memory of the late ernie o’Malley; on long term loan to the irish Museum of Modern Art, 1990; de Veres Art Auction, 16th April, 2002 (lot 140), where purchased by the present owner and which catalogue entry read:

‘the painting was accepted by the Goupil Salon for their autumn exhibition in 1930, but withdrawn by the artist as it was badly hung’ - Jack B.Yeats, A Catalogue Raisonne of the oil Paintings by Hilary Pyle, no 421, page 380, Vol i.

A Lament was painted in 1930 and was intended by Jack B. Yeats for exhibition at a group show in the Goupil Galleries, in London. the hanging of the painting displeased him and he withdrew it. He exhibited it the following spring at the engineers’ Hall in Dublin. it was noted favourably by the Dublin evening Mail art critic who described it as ”a wonderful impression of a Dublin funeral against a background of gaily-covered hoardings”.

Helen o’Malley, wife of ernie o’Malley, bought the painting in 1944 and recorded her notes: ”Proscribed funeral procession of Republican leader Harry Boland. Seventy five thousand citizens stood silent in the rain in defiance of proscription by British Government”. [in fact it was the Free State Government.] Helen o’Malley bought the painting in 1944 for one hundred pounds from Victor waddington. By that time she and her husband knew Jack Yeats. Her view of the picture and her notes on it may have been informed by the information from both men.

Jack Yeats painted his substantive depiction of the event, the Funeral of Harry Boland, in 1922 from sketches taken by himself in Glasnevin Cemetery. All photography was banned and the artist claimed that his was the only visual record of the graveside ceremony. A Lament depicts a funeral passing through the streets of Dublin and is more a ”memory painting”. it is also totally different in style, full of colour and movement, and very much a street scene with the backdrop of posters.

the 1931 engineers’ Hall exhibition was widely covered by the press and came at a positive time in the artist’s career. the harsh criticism his new impressionist style had attracted in the late 1920’s had been replaced by more widespread acceptance. Probably more important was the huge and favourable critical impact, particularly in Britain, of his book, Sligo. Critics did still refer to Jack Yeats wielding ”a wicked brush making the pigment fly wildly this way and that,” and of his playing ”wildly with his paint” in contrast with the more sober style of other artists. But the year was a high point in a career that had more than its share of setbacks and disillusionment. one critic referred to the Yeats brothers as ”the older giants” and said of Jack ”he strides vaguely round Dublin and paints pictures, which are more genuinely modern than those of the youngest graduate from the school of Art, and certainly more interesting.”

the painting was shown in the 1945 national Loan exhibition. this was the only other occasion on which the picture was exhibited during the artist’s lifetime. ernie o’Malley, who had the painting in the family at the time, wrote the introduction to the catalogue. He said: ”He has used the funeral or burial as a symbol. The death of a man who has suffered in the national fight has often been one of the few public tributes that a people could give to one whom some of them recognised only in death. A sense of ceremonial, which had seemed to disappear from consciousness, would emerge and an impressive ordered intensity show understanding and devotion. The memory of the dead has changed its meaning when seen as a political artifice, or has become outworn in verbal misuse, but in Jack Yeats's pictures it holds an eternal significance.”

Provenance: the irish Sale, Sotheby’s, 2007

Daniel o’neill remained a romantic painter throughout his life and works such as ‘An early Memory’ seem to create a place with a less tangible physical existence. the title suggests that the artist’s recall of this landscape is only achieved through his memory of it and the manner in which he experienced it as a child.

Forms are loosely suggested in the imperceptible light of dawn or dusk, so that we share the artist’s own memory and perhaps the child’s vague conception of events and lack of understanding of them. there are implied connections between the figures in the foreground and the boat near them and perhaps also between the two boats, but events and their meaning are left ambiguous.

it is impossible to ignore echoes of Jack Butler Yeats in this work, with whose work o’neill would undoubtedly have become familiar through his professional connection with Victor waddington. Dickon Hall, 2012

also signed verso.

this painting comes from a series of paintings called Shadowlines. Aidan Dunne spoke of tyrrell’s painting of this time as follows:

to say that the paintings resist interpretation should not be taken to mean that the painter is against them being understood. it’s more a question of the level at which he believes that they can be understood, the level at which he believes they can function. in this regard they are certainly about their refusal to be pinned down in terms of meaning. that is, they are about something that cannot quite be depicted, though they continually approach depiction.

This painting was first exhibited in Charles Tyrrell’s second solo exhibition with Austin/Desmond Fine Art, London, May-June 1998.

it subsequently was exhibited in ten Years, the artist’s ten year retrospective at the Royal Hibernian Academy, november 2000 - January 2001.

Literature: Jack B. Yeats, A Catalogue Raisonne of the oil Paintings by Hilary Pyle, no 91, page 78, Vol i, where she writes:

‘An ostler holding the heads of two skittish horses in the darkness. His scarf and the harness catch the light. this oil was developed from a sketch in one of Yeat’s Belmullet notebooks (sketchbook 101; Sligo Museum), which has the inscription ‘Changing horses on the way to Belmullet’. Yeats and Synge travelled by mail car – a long car – to Belmullet in July 1905.

The painting may be earlier than 1914, with its firmly worked single figure and night lighting being closer to compositions of 1911-12 (27, 39). the trip with Synge imprinted itself firmly on Yeat’s memory, and he recalled incidents from it at intervals’.

Kathyln is an artist who has slipped under the radar in ireland. i met her by chance on the canal as we both walked our dogs on cold winter nights. i then became aware of her talents as a sculptor and despite a lengthy and impressive C.V i had not seen her work before. She graduated with 1st class honours in sculpture from waterford College of Art in 1985. Her work has been exhibited in both China and Poland. She has been invited to exhibit at the RHA on numerous occasions and has received several impressive reviews from Aidan Dunne and Catherine Marshall and Frances Ruane. i am delighted to offer these two highly original and beautifully crafted works in this sale.
