Desmond Carrick RHA (1928-2012) THE FIRST DAY OF WINTER AT HAZELHATCH, DUBLIN oil on board signed lower right; titled on artist`s label on reverse; with RHA exhibition label on reverse The Artist`s Estate Royal Hibernian Academy Annual Exhibition 1998 Carrick, Desmond; Corcoran, Tony, Desmond Carrick RHA - The Lie of the Land, Gandon Editions, Cork, 2009, p.66 & 100 Desmond Carrick was elected a member of the RHA in 1968 and became one of the institution`s most eminent and active members. For forty-four years his paintings were a familiar sight on the academy walls, particularly during the annual exhibitions. His role as secretary for the academy in the late 1970s saw his skills as an administrator come to the fore and he played a crucial role in facilitating the transformation of the old academy site into the modern space it is today. He sat on various academy committees and was central to the process of electing new members, as well as the coordination of the annual show, in which he exhibited since 1951. Carrick`s journey towards becoming an artist was gradual. He followed in his father`s footsteps with a career in the Guinness brewery from 1945 but pursued his interest in art through classes at NCAD where Seán Keating and Maurice MacGonigal (both past presidents of the RHA) were his tutors. He won the coveted Taylor Scholarship in 1956; a prize which facilitated a trip to Spain and ignited a lifelong passion for light and colour. Often in the company of fellow academian James Nolan, he would continue this pursuit in weekend trips around Dublin and to the West of Ireland and later with regular trips to Spain and France. While continuing to work in Guinness (he remained with the brewery until 1977) his talents as an artist were recognised. Bryan Guinness, later Lord Moyne, director of the brewing company, became a patron and he was commissioned to paint a large mural depicting the brewing process for the company`s visitor centre in 1958.In the late 1950s Carrick designed and constructed his own home and studio at Killakee. He married Deirdre Mellett in 1967 and together they enjoyed life in the picturesque surroundings of the Dublin Mountains. After his retirement from Guinness, the couple spent part of the year abroad in Southern Spain and in France. Much of the work painted on these sojourns were later submitted for exhibition in the RHA annual show or in various exhibitions with the Dublin Painters Gallery, Ritchie Hendriks Gallery, IELA, Oireachtas among others. In 2009 Gandon editions published a profusely illustrated text on Carrick`s life and career, The Lie of the Land. This brought to light his journey and celebrated the diversity of his skills as an artist in oil, watercolour, sculpture and stained glass. On 30 September 2012, exactly a year to the date of this sale, Desmond Carrick passed away.Examples offered in the present collection demonstrate his unique artistic vision, a career dedicated to the exploration of light and colour, along with a consistency of style and quality which became his hallmark. Many lots were shown in the RHA and or illustrated in Desmond Carrick RHA - The Lie of the Land (2009). 14 x 18in. (35.56 x 45.72cm)

Incredible signed photograph of the newly named Garland Sisters, when Judy was just 12 years of age GARLAND JUDY: (1922-1969) American Film Actress & Entertainer, Academy Award winner. An exceptionally early vintage signed and inscribed 8 x 10 photograph by Garland and her two sisters, Mary Jane and Dorothy Virginia, the image depicting the siblings in smiling head and shoulders poses together. Photograph by Bloom of Chicago. Signed by Judy Garland in bold black fountain pen ink to a light area at the head of the image, 'To Dorothy from the Garland Sisters, Baby Frances' (her real name being Frances Ethel). Also signed by her sisters Dorothy Virginia ('Jimmie') and Mary Jane ('Janie') with their first names only in fountain pen ink. Extremely rare and desirable. Some light surface creasing to the edges and a small area of light dust staining to the upper right corner, only very slightly affecting Garland's inscription. Otherwise about VG The present photograph dates from 1934 when The Garland Sisters, who had been touring the vaudeville circuit for a number of years as The Gumm Sisters, performed in Chicago at the Oriental Theatre with George Jessel. Indeed, it was Jessel who encouraged the sisters to choose a more appealing name than Gumm after their surname had been met with laughter by audiences. There are several theories as to how the trio of siblings decided upon their new name of Garland, as adopted in the present signed photograph, although perhaps the most reliable theory was provided by Garland's daughter, Lorna Luft, who stated that her mother selected the name when Jessel announced that the trio 'looked prettier than a garland of flowers'. Shortly after the date of the present photograph, Frances was to change her name to Judy, inspired by a popular Hoagy Carmichael song, and less than a year later, by August 1935, the performing trio was broken up and Judy Garland went on to pursue a legendary career in entertainment. The lot is accompanied by a small original vintage photograph of the original recipient of the signed photograph, a fellow child actress named Dorothy Gray, and a photocopy of a newspaper article identifying Gray as one of Judy Garland's best friends.
