Letitia Marion Hamilton RHA (1875-1964) The Flower Market, Dubrovnik oil on canvas signed 'LMH' lower right 61 x 52cm (24.02 x 20.47in) original artist's label verso with price of £100-0-0 Private Collection A student of Orpen's at the Metropolitan School of Art, Letitia Hamilton was an exceptionally accomplished painter. A keen traveller, she painted at many locations in Europe. Her chief influences were French, but she also took note of Paul Henry and Roderic O'Conor. She favoured a sunny palette with some impasto, using dark tones carefully, and her use of shades of white and off-whites is masterly. Her study of The Flower Market is a beautifully airy exercise in light and shade, with great, relaxed vitality.

Fr. Jack P. Hanlon (1913-1968) Madonna and Child oil on canvas board 50 x 35cm (19.69 x 13.78in) George Montague Gallery, Dublin; Private Collection By the time Jack P. Hanlon was ordained in 1939, he already had a thriving career as an artist. Largely self-taught, like several of his contemporaries he did spend a short time at the atelier of Andre Lhote in Paris. Lhote's variety of Cubism was less extreme than that pioneered by Picasso and Braque, and more traditionally pictorial. That, and Post-Impressionism shaped Hanlon's personal style, which favoured light tonality and bright colour in addressing a wide variety of themes. His Madonna and Child, with its references to mosaic, is a good example.
Paul Henry RHA (1876-1958) Cottages (1930-1935) oil on board signed 'PAUL HENRY' lower right 25½ x 30cm (10.04 x 11.81in) Collection of Hugh Francis Carey; By Descent; Christie's London, The Irish Art Sale, 12th May 2006 Lot 81; Private Collection S.B. Kennedy: Paul Henry Paintings, Drawings Illustrations, published by Yale, University press; Catalogue No. 762, page 252 illustrated. This composition remarkable for the handling of the water in the foreground, with its dabs of light colour and the few reeds which brings the foreground to life (see for example Henry's treatment of 'Kinsale', 1939, with its dabs of a lighter colour on the water which enlivens the foreground view of the Scilly area.) Similar treatment is applied to the sky, although the clouds are less distinct. The mountains in the background are similarly lacking the direction of light so that the 'Cottages' themselves and the foreground are left to provide the interest in the scene. This is one of the first times that Henry made use of this device. 'Cottages' is numbered 762 in S. B. Kennedy's on-going catalogue of Paul Henry's oeuvre. Dr S.B. Kennedy, March 2018
John Shinnors (b.1950) St. John's Night, Carraroe, Inishmor oil on canvas on panel signed lower right and titled on reverse 108 x 143cm (42.52 x 56.30in) Private Collection Limerick artist John Shinnors is justly celebrated for his inventive pictorial puzzles based on the most ordinary subject matter: mackerel laid out in the fishmongers counter, washing flapping on the clothes-line, Fresian cattle in a field, scarecrows, badgers, Loop Head lighthouse. Many of his chosen motifs share a monochrome, black-and-white palette. He prefers that colour, when he uses it, makes a point. It certainly does so in St. John's Night, Carraroe, Inishmor, which richly displays his expertise with shades of black and white and volcanic bursts of colour, and another trademark quality: an air of mystery and magic. St John's Eve, usually coincident with the Summer Solstice, is traditionally celebrated by communal bonfires, beacons in the night. Here, John Shinnors counterpoints the intense glow of the flames with a stark, elemental terrain, the bonfire in Carraroe with the forbidding sea-bound fortress of Inish Mór nearby. The dark shelf of the island's formidable cliffs juts out into the Atlantic waters, phosphorescent in the half-light of midsummer darkness. Midsummer mirrors midwinter in a fine example of pictorial drama. Aidan Dunne, March 2018.
