Nano Reid (1900-1981)Artist in the Country (1973)Oil on board, 50 x 60cm (19¾ x 23½)SignedProvenance: With The Dawson Gallery, Dublin.Exhibited: The Dawson Gallery, solo exhibition, Dublin 1973, Catalogue No.10; 'Nano Reid Retrospective', Dublin and Belfast 1974/5, Catalogue No.94, illustrated p.22; Arts Council of Ireland, 'The Delighted Eye', 1980, Catalogue No.72; Belltable Arts Centre, 'Towards the World's Edge', Limerick 1981, Catalogue No.29.In his memoir A Passion for Collecting, Patrick Murphy recalls that in 1973 he wandered into a solo exhibition of Nano Reid’s at the Dawson Gallery and was ‘greatly smitten by the exceptional quality of these late paintings’ (1). He quickly sold some shares in order to buy two paintings, one of which was Artist in the Country (2). Murphy recalls that these purchases marked the beginning of his relationship with the Dawson Gallery and its proprietor Leo Smith who told him ‘At last, you have discovered where to find the best pictures in Ireland’ (3). Anne Margaret (Nano) Reid (1900-1981) was born in Drogheda, the daughter of a publican. She attended the Sienna Convent in the town before winning a scholarship to the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin, where she was taught by Sean Keating and Patrick Tuohy. The artist Hilda van Stockum, who befriended Reid at art school in Dublin, recalled her as ‘a fierce red-head, staring with keen green eyes behind spectacles, she was uncompromising, blunt and desperately looking for truth’ (4). Reid furthered her art education in Paris at the Academie de la Grand Chaumiere and in London at the Central School of Art and Chelsea Polytechnic before returning to Dublin. From 1934, she exhibited regularly with the Dublin Society of Painters and began to establish a reputation particularly for her portraits many of which featured her friends from Dublin’s literary circles. Despite finding critical success and, along with Norah McGuinness, representing Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 1950, as Brian Fallon has recently argued, Reid is not as well-known as she deserves to be largely because she was an innovator and ahead of her time: ‘Nano Reid is a major Irish painter, a thorough-going original and innovator, and that it is precisely this originality which has worked against her in certain quarters' (5). As works such as Artist in the Country and Boyne Fishing suggest, Reid often flouted the traditional laws of perspective and depicted some elements of the composition from above while other parts, particularly figures, are illustrated more conventionally. Today we can see her approach to perspective as a direct legacy of Cubism which she would have encountered both in Paris in the 1920s and through the work of Irish artists including Jellett, Hone and Swanzy.Reid’s handling of paint and her preference in works such as Boyne Fishing and The Farm Hand to render her subjects in loose, energetic brush strokes that deposited thin layers of paint in a distinctive earthy palette of olive green, grey, umber and ochre, also sets her apart from her Irish contemporaries and suggests the influence of expressionism as manifested in Germany and particularly France. Patrick Murphy recalls that Artist in the Country is a portrait of painter Kit Elliot in her kitchen. The figure of the artist bent over her work occupies the left hand corner of the canvas, a black cat on a chair sits in the centre and three red hens can be seen in the garden outside. Cats often appear in Reid’s work and Brian Fallon argues that the ‘airborn animals’ that feature in her work ‘probably derive from Chagall’ (6). While the painting is primarily green, unusually flashes of cobalt blue and areas of light pink and mauve help to define the forms and suggest a domestic interior. Although her influences were international, Reid’s subject matter was often personal and linked to her home in Drogheda and the Boyne Valley. James White, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, (1964-1980) believed that ‘the surroundings of Drogheda had a big influence on Nano.’ She told the journalist Martin Dillon in 1974 , ‘What started me off was an interest in the prehistoric Irish remains. An interest grew up around all that and the natural thing was to paint it. … I looked around me more and painted what appealed to me in an emotional way. The thing is I have to have a subject that I feel about and the only ones I feel about are those places (Boyne Valley). There is no use in trying to paint a place I have no feeling for. The essence of a place is very important to me’ (7). Although Reid’s images of Drogheda and the Boyne Valley were not intended to be documentary, paintings such as Boyne Fishing constitute a valuable record of the town and its inhabitants and record and preserve customs ways of life that are long gone. Murphy bought Boyne Fishing directly from Reid during a visit to Drogheda at the invitation of Nano and her sister. It appealed to him for its ‘anarchic energy and subtle execution.’ (8) Boyne Fishing shares its subject matter with the earlier work Salmon Fishing in the Boyne which is more representational and clearly depicts the fisher men, their currachs and nets. In the The Farm Hand Reid, depicts another image of everyday work in the rural landscape. Despite being loosely sketched, in both The Farm Hand and Boyne Fishing, Reid has captured the effort, focus and strain in the men’s limbs and stance. Although her family ran a pub in town, the sight of men and women working in the fields would have been familiar to Reid and she enjoyed elevating these manual labourers to heroic figures rooted in the landscape. The Boyne Valley was of central importance to Reid but she also painted other areas of Ireland including Connemara, where she stayed on the island of Inishlacken with her friend Gerard Dillon, and West Cork. In The West Cork Mountains (1949) Reid has captured the barely tamed vegetation of the Ireland’s south west coast where the verdant green flora is punctuated by dark pink Fucshia and the vibrant yellow of buttercups and whins. Patrick Murphy recalls first seeing The West Cork Mountains (1949) at Reid’s retrospective organised by the Arts Council in 1974 and that the ‘stroke of searing yellow paint atop the mountains smote me to the heart’ (9). The work belonged to William O’Sullivan, librarian of Trinity College Dublin, but Murphy vowed then that if it ever came up for sale, he would try to buy it. In 2001 he realised that ambition and acquired this work which he thought ‘had magic its makeup’ (10).

Patrick Collins HRHA (1911-1994)Pony Running Wild on ErrisbegOil on board, 60 x 75cm (23¾ x 29¾)SignedExhibited: Tom Caldwell Gallery, Dublin, solo exhibition; Arts Council of Ireland, 'The Delighted Eye', Catalogue No.13; Sligo Art Gallery, 'Patrick Collins Retrospective', 1985; David Hendriks Gallery, Dublin June 1970, Catalogue No. 1; Cork Arts Society, March 1973, Catalogue No. 28; Belltable Gallery, Limerick, April 1981, Catalogue No. 36.Literature: 'Contemporary Irish Art' by Roderic Knowles, 1982, colour plate p.107; Frances Ruane, 'The Delighted Eye', Arts Councils of Ireland, 1980, illustrated; Frances Ruane, 'Patrick Collins', Arts Councils of Ireland, 1982, pp. 55, 57 (illus), 59, 110.Like most of his works, Ponies Running Wild on Errisbeg was painted from the artist’s memory because he wanted the physical appearance of the subject to give way to his poetic interpretation, distilled over time. The initial subject is the starting point for a semi-abstract composition that is an independent entity with an internal logic and meaning all its own. Ponies, buildings, boundary walls and mountaintop are fragments of the environment that float on the surface. They are nearly abstract, crusty, staccato surface notations set against an unbounded space. Collins is drawn to subdued colours, with edges softened by the diffused light of an overcast Irish day. The dominant earth tones of this painting are electrified by shafts of pink and yellow-green and by a large patch of watery blue that reflects the sky. In true Collins style, light emanates from somewhere deep under the translucent surface. While some shapes are aligned with the perimeter, others seem to be pulled towards an imaginary central magnetic point. This opposition between edge and centre gives the composition a dynamic rotating movement. Collins is a rare artist who has combined a desire to paint something truly indigenous, romantic subjects at the very heart of rural Ireland, with a sophisticated international approach to abstract picture making. Unlike most Irish landscape painters, Collins consciously avoided depicting the picturesque. Rather than ‘landscape’, works like this one are more about ‘the land’, with implicit references to use and ownership. Here we can see in the defined edges of the painting, the familiar boundary walls that define a rural ‘holding’. This ‘frame within a frame’ also serves to separate the scene from the observed world, reminding us that Collins has brought it into the timeless realm of poetic imagination. He takes all the intimate furniture of the landscape, all those walls and sheds, and obscures them with mist and light. They become nearly forgotten images from his memory, lost through time in a lonely and desolate landscape.Dr Frances Ruane HRHA, July 2019
Patrick Collins HRHA (1911-1994)Sligo Landscape (1965-67)Oil on canvas 69.5 x 90cm (27¼ x 35½)SignedExhibited: Dublin, National Gallery of Ireland, 'Shaping Ireland: Landscapes in Irish Art', April-July 2019; Edinburgh Open Exhibition, c.1968.Literature: NGI, Donal Maguire Ed., Shaping Ireland: Landscapes in Irish Art, 2019, illustrated p.29.Collins was born in Dromore West, County Sligo, growing up at the edge of Sligo town. He said that his life was shaped by the local countryside far more than by family, friends or school. His complete identification with those rural surroundings consistently formed the foundation of his painting. He turned again and again to painting his youthful memories of roaming the fields near Sligo but was more interested in conjuring up the feelings he experienced when confronting nature rather than picturesque views. In doing so, he created paintings with haunting emotional intensity. Literature also nurtured Collins’ childhood imagination, with the works of modern Irish writers like W.B. Yeats, Synge and Joyce (particularly Joyce) stimulating him as a young man. He particularly admired Joyce for the way he embraced indigenous Irish subject matter, while he stylistically broke new literary ground internationally. Collins wanted to do the same with painting, which one can see in his approach to Sligo Landscape. The subject springs directly from rural Ireland, where colours are softened by the diffused silvery grey light of an overcast day, with edges softened as if veiled by mist. Although there is the suggestion of hills in the far distance, some bogland, a small stream, divided fields and some cultivation in the foreground, Collins deliberately avoids depicting his subject in a literal way. He identified with what he called the ‘Celtic imagination’, where by steering clear of precise representation an artist reveals the essence of a place that hovers beneath the seen surface. Here, he condenses the elemental character of the isolated West-the cold, the wind, the silvery light, the wetness of the atmosphere, the contained fields and the loneliness. However, like Joyce, Collins wanted to express this vision in contemporary terms. In tune with new aesthetic thinking of the mid-1960s he accepts the inherent flatness of the picture surface, reducing the subject to a few nearly abstract lines. These lines are the framework on which Collins can hang the voids, and it’s in these empty spaces that we find the poetry, the nuances of light and texture, the delicate touch of the brush, the modulations of colour.Sligo Landscape expresses a romantic view of Ireland that grew out of Collins’ direct experience of a pre-industrialised rural existence, a view nurtured on poetry and ballads. A comment in a review of his very first one man show in 1956 is as pertinent now as then, that Collins “stimulates the imagination like the aroma of a forgotten place, calling back the most startling memories.”Dr Frances Ruane HRHA, July 2019
Grace Henry HRHA (1868-1953)Achill CottagesOil on panel, 19 x 24.8cm (7½ x 9¾)SignedProvenance: Ex Collection of Kenneth Jameson, former Director of ACNI; Ross Auctioneers, Belfast c.1999, where purchased.Exhibited: National Gallery of Ireland, 'Shaping Ireland: Landscapes in Irish Art', Dublin April-July 2019. Literature: NGI, Donal Maguire Ed., Shaping Ireland: Landscapes in Irish Art, 2019, Illus p.48.Grace Henry (nee Mitchell) was born in 1868 near Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was here that she spent the next thirty years of her life, dabbling in an artistic talent that would later name her as one of Ireland’s great female artists of the 20th century. In 1896, Henry is listed, under her maiden name, as exhibiting with the Aberdeen Artists’ Society and this marks her first known transition into life as a professional artist. In the early 1900s, Henry studied at Blanc Garrins Academy in Brussels and Delécluse Academy in Paris, engaging with the light, impressionistic style that was sweeping the continent. In Paris, Henry met her future husband and fellow artist, Paul, and, after three years, the couple moved to London where they married. Whilst in England, Henry exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and, from 1910 onwards, she began to send pieces to Dublin to show in the Royal Hibernian Academy also.1912 saw the Henrys removing themselves from the city and finding the antithesis of hectic London life in the Achill Islands. Spending nearly a decade there, this period marked a dynamic time for the couple in which each found a way to respond to the scenes around them. Whilst Paul Henry found himself at ease in this rural land and opted for an idyllic romanticisation of his surroundings, Grace found herself empathising with the community and the hardship that prevailed there. We see this in ‘Achill Cottages’ where Grace has chosen to portray a scene not far removed from the views provided in her husband’s quintessential works. The whitewashed cottages stand before an impressive background of mountains but, unlike Paul’s depictions which suggest an easy serenity, Grace’s rough brushstrokes belie the adversity felt by each household. The buildings look battered from years of wind and the rolling clouds evoke a dynamism that tell of an approaching storm. As the smoke curls from the chimneys, we can imagine the occupants inside huddling close to a fire in the hopes of coaxing warmth into their bodies.With the approach of the 1920s, the Henrys returned to the city and established themselves in Dublin, an artistically enriched but otherwise broken couple. In 1920, they banded together with Letitia Hamilton, Mary Swanzy and Jack B. Yeats to form the Dublin Painters’ Society before going their separate ways a few years later. Leaving her now estranged husband in Ireland, Grace once again sought ambition in mainland Europe and travelled through France and Italy, soaking up the influence of a stronger sun. It is in this period that we see a new injection of colour entering Henry’s works. Gone are the earthy tones of Achill and, in their place, her palette becomes infused with delicate peaches, welcoming yellows and vibrant greens, capturing the vitality of this warmer climate. In ‘On the Terrace’, this altered tonal approach distinctly picks out the hazy heat of a Mediterranean morning, inviting us to relax in its ambience.Sadly, the outbreak of WWII forced Henry to return to Ireland. Here, she continued to exhibit at the RHA and was elected an Honorary Member in 1949, just three years before her death. A somewhat overshadowed artist, Grace Henry’s work emits a modernism and bravery that cries out for celebration, her vast ability laid bare within the Murphy Collection.
Barrie Cooke HRHA (1931-2014)Black Stones (BC09900)Oil on canvas, 137 x 152cm (54 x 59¾)Signed, inscribed and dated 1999Provenance: With the Kerlin Gallery, Dublin 2000.It’s well-known that Barrie Cooke had Heraclitus’s words ‘Everything flows’ on his studio wall. The fifth-century BC, Greek philosopher’s belief that everything is in a state of flux resonated with English-born, US-educated, Irish artist Barrie Cooke who, having moved to Ireland in 1954, lived close to lakes and rivers in Kilnaboy, Co Clare, Thomastown, Co Kilkenny and Kilmactranny, Co Sligo. Born in Knutsford, Cheshire, in 1931, his family emigrated to the US when Cooke was 16 and he began studying Biology at Harvard: ‘I was going to be a fishery biologist so that I could spend my life fishing’ but he switched to art history and painting and fishing became his lifelong enthusiasm. His Harvard degree, in History of Art, Biology and Chinese Poetry, and his knowledge of art history, his love of nature and his poetic sensibility are evident in his work.Seamus Heaney, writing about his friend, said that in Cooke’s case ‘[t]he rod tip is like a straw in the cosmic wind . . . the tip of the loaded brush is even more exploratory and receptive’. Black Stones, from 1999, the immediacy and freshness of the work, its movement and aliveness captures a fisherman’s attentiveness to the scene before him; it’s an artist-fisherman’s concentration on the moment. For Cooke, fishing was his contact with the earth, ‘It’s my meditation’.Black Stones is a work from the very end of the twentieth century and the end of a millennium. By then, and decades before global leaders paid any attention to the greatest crisis of our time, Barrie Cooke was very aware of how pollution was the world’s biggest challenge. He saw, first hand, the death of lakes and rivers and during the 1990s paintings such as ‘Sewage Outlet’ [1993] and ‘Lough Arrow Algae’ [1995] reflected his concerns. But this painting is fresh, clean, pure. It splashes with life. Cooke says ‘I think there has to be one thing in painting - energy, vitality, that’s ninety-nine percent of it’ and vibrant it is. The palette is simple. Black, white and blue. The large black stones are `more airy rather than weighed down and blue had always been important to Cooke: ‘right from youth blue has always been a wonderful colour. It is sky. It’s the blue of Titian, Bellini. It’s all those things.’Both representational and abstract, Black Stones drips with light and movement. Cooke himself says that ‘Art maybe is an attempt to hold the moment, to keep it alive. It is difficult, and if you manage to realise actual vitality on the canvas you have achieved something quite rare, and perhaps that’s enough.’This is a right here, right now painting. It is earth, air and water. Barrie Cooke spent a long time on each painting but it looks spontaneous and from the dazzling water, at any moment, a fish could jump.Barrie Cooke was chosen to represent Ireland at the Paris Biennale and the ten-year retrospective at the Douglas Hyde Gallery in 1986 was shown in Belfast, Cork and Limerick. A major show was held in the Haags Geementemuseum in 1992 and the RHA held a Retrospective in 2003. His work is in all major Irish Art Collections and international collections include Fogg Museum, Boston, Gemeentemuseum, The Hague, Harvard University, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.Niall MacMonagle 2019
Jack Butler Yeats RHACrossing the Canal Bridge, from the Tram Top (1927)Oil on panel, 23 x 35.5cm (9 x 14)SignedProvenance: Sold by the artist to Leo Smith, 1944; The Dawson Gallery, Dublin; Ex Collection Peter Ledbetter; Auction Taylor DeVere's, where purchased.Exhibited: Engineer's Hall, 'Paintings', Dublin February/March 1927, Catalogue No.18; Alpine Club Gallery, 'Paintings', London June/July 1930, Catalogue No.14; National Gallery of Ireland, 'Shaping Ireland: Landscapes in Irish Art', Dublin April-July 2019.Literature: Hilary Pyle, 'Jack B. Yeats, A Catalogue Raisonne of the Oil Paintings', London 1992, Catalogue No.326; Patrick J. Murphy, 'A Passion for Collecting: A Memoir', 2012, illustrated in colour; NGI, Donal Maguire Ed., 'Shaping Ireland: Landscapes in Irish Art', 2019, illustrated p.104This very unusual painting depicts a view from the top of a double-decker tram as it crosses the Grand Canal at Portobello. The no 15 tram ran from Nelson’s Pillar via Rathmines to Terenure. The window gives a view onto the canal looking east towards Charlemont Bridge. It is night-time and the brightly lit interior of the tram and its window frame contrasts with the gloom of the outside world. The former is painted in dazzling orange and red paint, lending it a tactile appearance. The bizarre angle of the window suggests that the tram has just crossed the apex of the bridge. Beyond its confines the city appears both calm and mysterious. The sky is an intense deep blue, a colour that is enhanced by its proximity to the orange of the window frame. The regular line of the canal with its green banks, outline of trees and the flowing cascade of water evoke the regularity of the cityscape in that part of Dublin. Touches of white and yellow light indicate nocturnal activity. To the right the shadowy forms of pedestrians hurry along the street. Yeats painted several views from trams or trains, clearly enjoying the sense of distance and remove that such transport provided. He used the train and tram network extensively when he first moved back to Ireland in 1910, when he commuted regularly from Greystones to Dublin by rail. In the 1920s when he lived in Donnybrook and from 1929 Fitzwilliam Square, the subject became much more frequent in his oeuvre. One work, From the Tram Top, also painted in 1927, includes a self-portrait of the artist. The 1924 painting, The Canal from the Train, uses a similarly angled window to frame a prospect of the canal and its banks in sunlight. The intensity of the colours and the richness of the paint surface in Crossing the Canal Bridge along with the imposition of the framing device onto the landscape, makes this a deeply expressionist work that transforms a familiar location into an evocative unfamiliar spectacle. But, as always with Yeats, the physical construction of the painting remains paramount. Róisín Kennedy, September 2019A loan request has been received for this painting. It is hoped that it can be included in an exhibition of the work of Jack B. Yeats and Nick Miller to be held at the Museum De Buitenplaats in Eelde, Holland in the autumn of 2020 until January 2021. The Model Gallery in Sligo are lending the core Yeats works.

MARIANO FORTUNY Y CARBÓ (1838-1874) THE WARRIOR signed l.r. M Fortuny watercolour 26.0 x 21.0cm / 10 1/4 x 8 1/4in Mariano Fortuny is one of the most renowned Spanish painters of the 19th Century. He specialised in genre and historical painting, as well as subjects with Orientalist themes such as the present work. He began his studies in Barcelona, winning a scholarship to travel to Rome to study at the Academi Gigi. Immediately upon his return to Spain, the Barcelona Government commissioned him to travel to North Africa to record the Spanish-Moroccan war at the time. It was here that his interest in Orientalist themes began, with some of his best known paintings being scenes both real and imagined in Morocco. In his travels to France in later years he closely observed his counterparts Delacroix and Fromentin, developing his style to accommodate the popular taste of Second Empire France. He was to emulate and equal their success. In his day he commanded as much international attention as his compatriot Sorolla, especially in France, where his works were highly sought-after. At the peak of his career, he could boast of commanding higher prices than of any of his contemporaries in Spain. Fortuny was an innovative painter, anticipating the looser brushwork of future generations, which he employed in both his oil paintings and his watercolours. He was particularly adept at capturing the effects of light while working in watercolour, as is demonstrated here in this highly atmospheric scene. This warrior figure seen from behind can be compared to the Arab Chief (1874, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Cat. 992); and to A Moroccan (1869, Prado Museum, Inventory Number D007414). It may date to the same period in Fortuny's ouevre as the latter, as he produced a number of watercolours of Arab subjects in his studio in Rome at this time. The Prado Museum in Madrid houses more works by Fortuny than any other artist in the collection, and recently held its first retrospective and published a monograph on the artist in 2017-2018.
