Louis Le Brocquy, HRHA (1916-2012) Boy with Flowers Watercolour, gouache & ink on paper, 29 x 22cm (11½ x 8¾") Signed and dated '51. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist in the 1950's by a Dublin Collector and sold by him through the Frederick Gallery Christmas Exhibition, 2002, Cat. No. 11 (Front Cover Illustration) where acquired by current owner Exhibited: "Collector's Eye" Exhibition, Model Arts and Niland Gallery January/February 2004, The Hunt Museum Limerick March/April 2004, Cat. No. 15; "A Celebration of Irish Art and Modernism", The Ava Gallery, June/September 2011, Cat. No. 28 Literature: "Collector's Eye" 2004, illustrated p9; "A Celebration of Irish Art and Modernism" 2011, illustrated p37 'Boy with Flowers' is one of a series of works executed by Louis le Brocquy in London in 1951 which were to lead up to his iconic work 'The Family' (1951), now in The National Gallery of Ireland (NGI). Late in 1950 Louis had moved to a small Georgian watch house in Holly Hill in Hampstead, London which belonged to the Northern Irish film producer William McQuitty. He was surrounded by interesting people, including his old friend and fellow artist, Derek Hill who had a house nearby. Louis converted the large garage beside the house into a studio complete with skylight. It was here that he was to commence a series of works sometimes referred to as his "Grey period" which culminated with 'The Family'. Regarding that work, Dr Yvonne Scott has written : "Carried out in the aftermath of World War II, it was intended to reflect the threatening and unstable environment, indicated in the painting by the austere surroundings, and revealed in the agonised expression of the woman and defeated posture of the man". The artist has been quoted as saying of this work : " 'A Family' was conceived in 1950 … in the face of atomic threat, social upheaval, and refugees of World War II and its aftermath ….. fifty years ago it was painted while contemplating a human condition stripped back to Paleolithic circumstances under the electric light bulbs" It is thought that "Boy with flowers'' was included along with other works in the 'Family' series in le Brocquy's Gimpel Fils June 1951 exhibition which was his most important exhibition to date. The reviews were very favourable, with an entire page of The Listener, written by Eric Newton, devoted to it. It was also written about at length by Neville Wallis of The Observer and John Russell of The Times. In a long article in Art News and Review (16th June, 1951) the critic John Berger wrote: "…. le Brocquy is completely free of the contemporary tendency to cosmic megalomania. It has become pretentious to talk of an artist's humility, yet that is what distinguishes his work, his studies testify to his patience, and his final, large picture to his refusal to evade simple but difficult problems by relying on the grandiose cliché ….. " We are indebted to the artist's wife Anne Madden, the late Dorothy Walker and Dr Yvonne Scott of TRIARC whose research and writings have formed the basis of this catalogue entry.

James Northcote (1746-1831) Portrait of Emily St Clare with a falcon Signed and dated 1803, oil on canvas, 126cm by 101.5cm Literature: J. Wilson, ` Hoppner`s ``tamborine girl` identified`, Burlington Magazine, CXXX, October 1988, p. 767, no. 5; J. Simon, `An Account Book of James Northcote`, Walpole Society, LVIII, 1995/6, p. 76, no. 406 Emily St Clare was the mistress of Sir John Leicester (1762-1827), later 1st Lord de Tabley of Tabley Hall, Cheshire. He was obsessed with her and commissioned at least fourteen portraits of her by John Hoppner, William Owen, Henry Thomson and John Northcote during the first decade of the 19th century. A major patron of British Art, Leicester also commissioned paintings by Turner, Sir Thomas Lawrence and James Ward. After Leicester`s marriage to Georgiana Maria Cotton in 1810, he hid the portraits of his mistress from his wife. He died in 1827 and shortly afterwards they were sold as subject paintings. Northcote painted Miss St Clare no less than seven times, portraying her twice with a falcon. In the earlier canvas she is seated with the bird in profile on her hand, a head and shoulders canvas for which Leicester paid £21.10s in 1801 (see J. Simon, Walpole Society, pp. 73-74, no. 382). The painting has recently been identified in a private collection. The second painting is on a larger canvas and shows the sitter standing on garden steps with the falcon alighting on her hand. This portrait, which appears in the artist`s account book in 1803, is the one offered in this sale. St Clare is shown wearing a white muslin cap, a white dress with a matching cape around her shoulders tied with a blue ribbon around her neck. It rehearses the self-portrait as a falconer Northcote painted of himself in 1823 (Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter). The history and portrait painter James Northcote was self-taught before he joined Sir Joshua Reynolds`s studio as a pupil and assistant between 1771 and 1776. He considered himself an authority on his master and in 1813, after Reynolds` death, he published his posthumous Memoirs of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Northcote also advised his patron Sir John Fleming Leicester on the formation of his gallery of contemporary British art and painted grandiose scenes from Shakespeare for John Boydell`s Shakespeare Gallery. Fully restored, relined, cleaned, restored and varnished in the late 19th or early 20th century. It may have been cleaned and restored more recently. It appears to be in quite satisfactory condition with reasonably thick impasto in places and quite delicately handled brushwork in other areas. Paint shrinkage and crackelure in the lighter parts. Strong signature and date and is contained within a period early 19th century carved and composite plaster and gilt frame, the gilt is somewhat rubbed along the edges (290113)

RAYMOND HAINS Rolling Stones IV, Ca. 1998 Con firma impresa. C-print entre plexiglas. Al reverso tiene pegada una copia del certificado de Galerie W sellada. Procedencia: Sotheby`s NY, Contemporary Art (9 de marzo de 2011), lote 133. (N. Dinard, Fracia, 1926 - París, Francia, 2005) Fue uno de los fundadores del movimiento Nouveau Réalisme de principios de 1960. Su obra se alejaba de un realismo en el sentido convencional, era considerado un "affichiste", pues creaba collages vibrantes y provocativos al yuxtaponer capas de carteles rasgados. Su arte se anticipó a la apropiación de los medios de comunicación por los artistas Pop en Gran Bretaña y Estados Unidos. Expuso con figuras internacionales como Christo, Jasper Johns y Robert Rauschenberg. Hains se inscribió a una escuela de arte cerca de Rennes cuando tenía 18 años. Aunque estudiaba escultura estaba mucho más interesado en su cámara Kodak. Gran parte de su obra temprana está fuertemente influenciada por el Dadaísmo y el Surrealismo: fotografías abstractas que tomaba con ayuda de espejos deformantes y películas cortas en las que registraba paseos por París en los que recogía tiras de carteles que después utilizaría en sus collages. Junto a Jacques de la Villeglé cuestionó la subjetividad y el desenfreno del Action Painting norteamericano de Pollock y De Kooning, así como de sus equivalentes franceses del Art Informel. De hecho, una vez Hains se autodenominó "pintor de inacción", oponiéndose con fuerza a la "vacuidad" del expresionismo abstracto. Mis obras existían antes que yo, pero nadie las había visto porque eran deslumbrantemente obvias. Raymond Hains. Véase: MASTERS, Christopher. "Raymond Hains.

Daniel O’Neill (1920-1974)INTERIOR WITH NUDEoil on boardsigned lower right; inscribed with title on reverse; titled on Waddington Galleries [Montreal] label also on reverseLandscaPortraite18 by 24in., 45 by 60cm.Waddington Galleries, Montreal;The Collection of Mervyn & Pat SolomonDaniel O`Neill exhibited at the Waddington Galleries between 1946 and 1955. After leaving Ireland in 1958 to move to London he exhibited with the Waddington Gallery in Montreal, Canada. During this period he also exhibited in New York (1947), in Beverly Hills, California (1948) and in a group show in Amsterdam. George Waddington, who was Victor`s youngest brother, worked in the Dublin Gallery but when Victor moved to London, George decided to move to Montreal where he opened Waddington Galleries Inc in 1959.Mervyn and Pat Solomon have been known in the art world as passionate collectors of art for generations. From Belfast, the family name is also synonymous with the music industry, Mervyn`s father being one of the duo Solomon & Peres (Morris Solomon and Harold Peres) music and entertainment retailers, distributors and producers based in Belfast between 1924-1981, later acquired by Decca Records. Mervyn himself founded Emerald Music in 1964 and was the first person to record Rory Gallagher and Van Morrison.The present collection demonstrates a support for Northern visual artists: Frank McKelvey, Daniel O`Neill, Colin Middleton, Tom Carr, Cecil Maguire, Martin Mooney, Markey Robinson and a clear interest in Irish artists working abroad, in Roderic O`Conor and Aloysius O`Kelly. Contemporary names such as Sandra Bell and Michael Leventis are evidence of an appreciation of later trends.
