ŠRonald Cameron, born 1930 The Diver bronze signed R Cameron variegated brown patination 210cm.; 83ins high This lot is sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by the sculptor stating that it is number 4 out of an edition of 4. Ronald Cameron was born in London in 1930 and studied at the Camberwell College of Art from 1947- 53. After working as a graphic artist he was asked to make the TV puppets for Gerry Anderson’s films of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90, producing 60 heads in all. Commissions for soldiers and farm animals followed for Britain’s and Airfix, which in turn lead to work modelling miniature figures as promotional gifts for companies such as Kelloggs and Shell Oil, together with sports trophies for events like Batsman of the Year, won by Clive Lord and the Professional Snooker championship won by Steve Davis. Commercial success meant that in the 1980’s he was able to concentrate more on producing larger scale sculpture for commissions and galleries including the Alwin Gallery in Mayfair London, where his work was exhibited alongside works by Elisabeth Frink and Henry Moore. Other exhibitions and commissions included: Whitford Gallery in Duke St., St James’s, London; Three relief figures for the Athens Olympics; Giant Panda collection boxes commissioned by Sir Peter Scott for the World Wildlife Fund; Miniature figures for the Chapman brothers |Holocaust|; A Nude figure which won the sculpture prize in the 2002 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition; An over life size bust of the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf for the National Portrait Gallery

Enzo Plazzotta, Italian, 1921-1981 Dieter’s Foal Bronze Signed and numbered 6 from an edition of 9 with Foundry stamp 155cm.; 61ins high by 131cm.; 51½ins long Enzo Plazzotta was born in Maestre, near Venice in 1921 and died aged 60 after having worked in London for more than half his life. He always maintained his links with Italy and had a home in Pietrasanto in Tuscany from 1967. Initially a student of architecture and sculpture, he decided to specialize in sculpture and studied at the Accademia di Brere in Milan. He gradually established himself as a portrait sculptor and also, like Degas, . Developed an interest in the portrayal of ballet dancers. Nureyev, Fonteyn, Sibley and Dowell were among the many dancers who came to his studio. This fascination with the human form manifested itself in a number of interpretations of the naked female form. His works can be found in many public and private collections including the Vatican. It has also been widely exhibited by many galleries including Wildenstein and Co and most recently in 2007 at the Robert Bowman Gallery in London.

Francis Bacon (1909-1992) STUDY FOR PORTRAIT OF POPE INNOCENT X, 1989 lithograph in colour; (épreuve d`artiste, artist`s proof) signed lower right; with edition ["E.A."] lower left 37.50 by 27in. (95.25 by 68.58cm) Study for Portrait of Pope Innocent X was created in an edition of 60. Sheet size: 46 by 30.25in. In 1953, Bacon painted Study after Velázquez`s Portrait of Pope Innocent by also known as The Screaming Pope based on the Spanish master`s portrait of the same subject from 1650. The subject as depicted by both artists is considered a masterpiece from their respective oeuvres. Bacon was fixated with the image and painted numerous versions of the subject. The present work mirrors the composition and palette of Velázquez`s painting but is imbued with a characteristically Bacon quality. Jim O`Driscoll was a renowned barrister by profession but also a passionate patron of the arts with a keen eye for beauty. Director of the Fenton Gallery in Cork for ten years, he built lasting ties with the arts community buying regularly from galleries throughout Ireland as well as from artists directly. His strong connections with Cork in particular are reflected in both his subject choice and his support for its native artists, among them, Maurice Desmond and Pat Connor. He was an early supporter and friend of Tony O`Malley and the late William Crozier and their paintings within his collection are testament to his access to the very best from their respective oeuvres. All the masters in Irish art from the eighties and nineties are well represented here, although some, for example those by Patrick Collins and Gerard Dillon, come from an earlier generation. This outstanding collection represents the powerful imprint of a true collector who was guided not only by his trained eye for quality but by a passion for interesting and authentic artworks.

Seán Keating PRHA HRA HRSA (1889-1977) PAST DEFINITE, FUTURE PERFECT, 1928 oil on canvas signed lower right; inscribed [A.M.D.G.] lower left; inscribed with title, artist`s name [John Keating], address [Killakee, Rathfarnham, Dublin, Ireland] and price [£100] on label on reverse; also with framing label of the Bregazzi & Sons [10 Merrion Row, Dublin] on reverse 25 by 30in. (63.50 by 76.20cm) Provenance: Royal Academy, London; Where purchased by the previous owner Exhibited: Royal Academy, London,1928 Well-known for his use of allegory as a method by which to reflect on political issues in Irish society, and evident in images such as An Allegory (1924) and Night`s Candles are Burnt Out (1929), Seán Keating was equally well-capable of utilising those skills to focus attention on the greater significance of the simple things in life. The older woman in Past Definite, Future Perfectis reading the cards. She holds the five of hearts and points to another card from the same suit lying on the table. Her young companion watches attentively, her hands clasped to one side so that she can see everything of the procedure. Both women are focused on the cards, but entirely absorbed in their own thoughts. At first glance, the picture presents a quiet moment between, perhaps, a mother and daughter. The only movement is in the old woman`s gnarled hands and in the swirl of light and dark tones in the background. Yet the imagery and the artist`s title suggest that this is more than a simple depiction of a fortune-telling session. The painting abounds with symbolism: old age presented as the past, beside youth as representative of the future. The manner in which the old woman concentrates on the suit of hearts suggests that she is thinking about her own past loves. The young woman, perhaps unaware that nothing is perfect, may be hoping for a definite answer about love in the future. The overarching message is that the gaiety and hope of youth leads inexorably towards the wisdom and experience of old age. Keating painted Past Definite, Future Perfect in 1928, having recently completed his series of paintings of the `Shannon Scheme` at Ardnacrusha. The association between this work and the `Shannon Scheme` might first appear incongruous; but physically and metaphorically, the project gave the artist hope for the future, and made him focus on the importance of older people in newly modernized Ireland. The theme appears to have been very much on his mind in 1928, a year in which he painted several images of old age including The Turf Buyer, Old Kitty and Good Old Stuff. Added to this, his mother Annie (née Hannan), had been suffering from an unspecified illness for a long number of years; she was nearing the end of her life in 1928. Keating credited his mother for having the foresight to send him to art school in Limerick many years previously. While this is not a portrait of Annie, it is a homage painting made in deference to women and to the wisdom of old age. Past Definite, Future Perfect was not a commission; Keating made it for public exhibition. The lettering to the bottom left of the image `AMDG` appears to represent the Jesuit motto `for the greater glory of God.` In other words, no matter what the cards supposedly say, life will be as it will be. On a more pragmatic note: the artist was in the habit of collecting disused frames; it may be that this unusual example came from a Jesuit house. Past Definite, Future Perfect was shown, along with Good Old Stuff, in the Royal Academy in London in 1928. A reviewer commented at the time on the `marvellous` portrait of the old woman which had the `conviction of a great old age.` It was purchased from the exhibition for a private collection at the time and has not been publicly exhibited since. When Keating was nearing the end of his own life he returned yet again to the themes in this work. He exhibited a watercolour with the same title, but painted in 1971, in the RHA that same year.

Paul Henry RHA (1876-1958) DOOGORT FROM SLIEVEMORE, ACHILL, 1919-1920 oil on canvas board with label of Reeves & Sons, Ltd, London sketching tablet on reverse 7.50 by 10.50in. (19.05 by 26.67cm) Provenance: The collection of Mrs. Barrett, Bervie Guest House, Achill Island; Christie`s, `Fine Irish Paintings and Drawings`, 26 May 1989, lot 281; Private collection; Adam`s, 26 February 1990, lot 87, as The Sandy Shore; Private collection Literature: Kennedy, S.B., Paul Henry Paintings Drawings Illustrations, Yale University Press, New Haven & London, 2007, p.211, catalogue no. 538 (illustrated) When Paul Henry first arrived on Achill Island he lodged with John and Eliza Barrett, who ran the post office in the village of Keel. `To this day,` he wrote late in life, `I have a warm feeling of gratitude to John and Eliza Barrett,` who in due course gave him `infinite and ungrudging` hospitality (Henry, An Irish Portrait, London, 1951, p. 4). The Barrett`s granddaughter, who today with her husband runs The Bervie Guesthouse at Keel, later owned the picture. The strand in the foreground is the beach at Doogort and the road on the right hand side still winds its way through the tiny hamlet, which is little changed from Henry`s time. The distant mountains are on the mainland of Co. Mayo, just north of Mallaranny. The fluid handling of the paint, with moderate impasto, is characteristic of Henry`s later Achill period and thus suggests a date of execution of around 1919-20. Dr. S.B. Kennedy April 2012 (£4,860-£6,480 approx)

Grace Henry HRHA (1868-1953) PORTRAIT OF HELEN WADDELL oil on canvas board signed lower right 17.75 by 14.25in. (45.09 by 36.20cm) Provenance: Lots 109-132 come from the collection of Dr James Cruickshank. A copy of his text Grace Henry, The Person and the Artist, published in association with Jorgensen Fine Art and Designroom, Dublin, 2010, accompanies each of these lots. Helen Waddell (1889-1965) was a close friend of the artist and a celebrated scholar and writer. She was educated at Queen`s, Belfast, Oxford and Paris, and for a number of years worked for the publishing house of Constable. Waddell was born in Tokyo where her father was a Presbyterian missionary and travelled widely throughout her life. Two depictions of Waddell were shown at a joint exhibition of Paul and Grace Henry`s work at the Hugh Lane, Dublin 26 November 1991 (catalogue nos. 17 & 18). Both works were from the collection of a Mollie Martin and had been previously exhibited at the Calmann Gallery, London in 1939 and `Portraits of Great Men and Women`, Ulster Museum, 1965. Dr. James G. Cruickshank, formerly of the Queen`s University of Belfast, is the author of books and articles on Irish geography and is a practising amateur artist. He is a native of Aberdeen, Scotland and has been a passionate collector and researcher of Grace Henry for many years. He was first introduced to her work in the 1970s through Una Whyte of the Magee Gallery, Belfast who established the connection between the two Aberdeen natives both of whom had spent their adult lives in Belfast. Dr Cruickshank`s first painting by Grace Henry, a gift from Whyte, was Bringing in the Turf (lot 110) and thus the journey began. Dr Cruickshank has written several papers on the artist. He gave one of the lectures during the `Paul and Grace Henry exhibition` at the Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane in 1991 and more recently, published Grace Henry - The Person and Artist in association with Jorgensen Fine Art, Dublin in 2010. This collection is testament to his devotion and support for an artist of unique talent and vision. Born in Peterhead, Aberdeen, as Emily Grace Mitchell, she studied art at the Blanc Garrins Academy, Brussels, and the Delecluse Academy, Paris. She was also a pupil for a while under André L`hote. In Paris she met the Irish painter Paul Henry whom she married in 1903. They settled in England and Grace began exhibiting in London at the RA, the Leicester Galleries, and the Fine Art Society. Along with her artist husband, she sent works to the RHA from 1910 onwards, and two years later they left England for Achill Island, where they spent seven productive years painting the local people and landscape. In 1922 she was represented at the Irish Exhibition in Paris with five works; later she was included in a similar loan exhibition in Brussels in 1930. Both she and Paul were founder members of the Dublin Painters group. They exhibited together at the Stephen`s Green Gallery, Dublin, and the Magee Gallery, Belfast. However, the pair were formally separated in 1934. Grace took to travelling and painting in France. Her work was boldly conceived in vibrant colours and decisive brushwork; "her painting", commented the Studio in 1939, was "all poetry". She continued to exhibit both in London and Dublin, notably with the Waddington Galleries and at the RHA. Although never made an Associate, she was elected an Honorary RHA in 1949.

Michael Cullen RHA (1946) STUDY IN BLUE WITH THREE FIGURES, 2001 oil on linen signed, titled and dated on reverse 56 by 35.50in. (142.24 by 90.17cm) Provenance: deVere`s, Dublin, 12 April 2005, lot 151; Whence purchased by the present owner Michael Cullen was born in Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow in 1946. He studied art at the Central School of Art and Design, London in 1969 and the National College of Art and Design, Dublin from 1970 to 1973 before moving abroad for several years. Cullen`s work has an underlying autobiographical aspect that sees him referring both himself and his work to such masters as Velasquez and Picasso. With his multicoloured carnival palette, Cullen`s paintings and prints reveal the influence of time spent in Mexico, Spain and Morocco that adds a festive air to proceedings. The profusion of bright, clean colour is emphasised by accents of brilliant white, and Cullen`s work often includes imagery of cowboys, still lives, bullfighters and infantas. Michael Cullen was awarded the Independent Artists` Major Painting Award in 1984 and the National Portrait Award in 1989. He has been the recipient of several Arts Council bursaries is also an elected member of Aosdána. Cullen has shown his work extensively throughout Ireland, with solo exhibitions at the Fenderesky Gallery, Belfast; Cavanacor Gallery, Donegal; Vangard Gallery, Cork; and Triskel Arts Centre, Cork; as well as Temple Bar Gallery, the Graphic Gallery and Project Arts Centre, Dublin. Cullen`s work is included in private collections throughout the country and is also represented in the public collections of the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Dundee Contemporary Arts Society, Scotland, amongst others.
