Lot 62
Daniel O`Neill (1920-1974) FLORENCE oil on board signed lower left 24.50 by 18.50in. (62.23 by 46.99cm) Dan O`Neill was born in Belfast in 1920. He was one of a small group of talented Ulster painters which included Colin Middleton, George Campbell and Gerard Dillon who were largely self-taught and who absorbed in differing ways and to varying degrees aspects of European mainstream modernism. His first exhibition was a joint show with Gerard Dillon in 1946 and his first one man exhibition was at the Waddington Galleries, Dublin in 1946. Around that time he gave up his job as an electrician to devote his time to painting. He visited Paris in 1949 and one can detect influences from Vlaminck and other French artists in his work. He lived in London from 1958 to1971. O`Neill painted still lives, landscapes, religious pictures and many figure studies. Whether in the guise of the bride, the actress or the muse - portraits of women remained a constant theme. His women, brooding and often taken out of time, could be hauntingly archetypal and melancholic; at other times dressed theatrically in historical costume. In some works his figures register correspondences with the sky or the moon. In his painting Florence, however the background is neutralised so as to focus on the subject. The face is stylised and her `Picasso` eyes seem to stare into the distance. O`Neill`s love of depicting pattern can be seen in his simplified treatment of the necklace; while the swirling brush stokes of the cuffs and collar of her dress underline the importance of texture for him. Blue, a favourite choice, is the unifying dominant colour, linking backdrop and figure and recalling the decorative aspects of Renoir. Collections: He is represented in private collections in Ireland, England ,France, Holland, Sweden, USA, Canada and Israel. His work is also included in the following public collections; Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, Dublin, The Arts Councils of Ireland, The Municipal Gallery, Cork, The National Gallery, Melbourne and The Herbert Gallery, Coventry.
