Hilary Heron (1923-1977) A LEVEL HEADED MAN, c.1965 wood 56 x 29 x 16in. (142.24 x 73.66 x 40.64cm) Purchased at the IELA Exhibition, 1965 by Micheál Mac Liammoir; His sale, Allen & Townsend, 1980; Where purchased by the present owner Irish Exhibition of Living Art (IELA), National College of Art, Dublin, 13 August to 11 September, 1965, catalogue no. 126 (illustrated) Irish Exhibition of Living Art (IELA) 1965 catalogue (illustrated) Hilary Heron was born in Dublin and spent her childhood in New Ross, County Wexford, and Coleraine, County Derry. She was educated privately at home and at Ivory's one-teacher school in New Ross. She attended the National College of Art, Dublin, where she won three Taylor Prizes from the Royal Dublin Society (RDS). For sculpture in wood, limestone and marble she was awarded the first Mainie Jellett Memorial Travelling Scholarship in 1947. In the same year, she went to Italy and France to study Romanesque carving. She was instrumental in founding the Irish Exhibition of Living Art, and first exhibited there in 1943. With Louis Le Brocquy, she represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 1956. In 1950 and 1953 she held two solo exhibtions in Dublin at the Waddington Gallery. In the 1950s she began to work in metal. In 1958 she was commissioned by the Irish government to complete work for an Irish exhibit at New York, and in 1960 her first exhibition in England was shown at the Waddington Galleries in London, where she displayed more than thirty works. One English critic saw her work as assimilating exotic styles with a great feel for nature, remarking that ‘she brings something fresh, diverting, and also very genuine to our inbred world of sculpture’ (Neville Wallis, quoted in Snoddy, p. 253). She travelled in Asia, America and Europe, and her works are in many private and public collections, both in Ireland and overseas, including The Irish Museum of Modern Art.

Gerard Dillon (1916-1971) HANDS ACROSS THE BORDER woolen tapestry mounted on raw linen 62 x 44in. (157.48 x 111.76cm) The artist's family by descent; deVere's, 30 March 2004, lot 168; Private collection; Morgan O'Driscoll, 28 Aptil 2014, lot 44; Private collection 'Nano Reid & Gerard Dillon', Highlanes Gallery, Drogheda, 6 November 2009 to 10 January 2010 Framed in pitch pine recycled from the pews of Burnfoot Presbyterian Church, Co. Donegal. The earliest documented tapestry of Dillon's is the large work titled Gentle Breeze, now in the collection of Bord Fáilte. Gentle Breeze was begun in 1950 and exhibited three years later at the Irish Exhibition of Living Art (no. 61), where it was widely recognised as the outstanding entry in that year's show. James White discusses the piece at some length in his monograph on Dillon, drawing attention in particular to the element of painstaking manual labour involved in such a project: "Most modern painters and tapestry designers send their cartoons to the great tapestry factories to be woven there, but Gerard started his own in Roundstone, at a time when he ran out of painting materials and perhaps adequate cash; obtaining a large canvas base and able to acquire wool ends in different colours locally, he set out to master the handcraft practised in cottages around the world for many hundreds of years" (James White, Gerard Dillon: An Illustrated Biography, Wolfhound Press, 1994, page 61). Dillon evidently enjoyed the work, for he is known to have executed at least two other tapestries: Island Tapestry (IELA, 1953, no. 9) and the present work, Hands Across the Border. In subject and composition Hands Across the Border is typical of Dillon's consummate creativity; the flattened shapes of the two figures at once intertwine and flare outwards in a decorative design redolent of folk art. White considered the work to "represent Dillon's feeling for his country, a man born and brought up in Ulster yet totally at home in the West of Ireland"

Patrick Swift (1927-1983) STILL LIFE, c.1960-1961 oil on board numbered [104] in red on reverse; with the remains of a portrait on reverse 48 x 30in. (121.92 x 76.20cm) The artist's studio; Private collection; Private Collector Gallery, Cork; Whence purchased by the present owner. 'Patrick Swift 1927-1983', Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin 2, December 1993 to 13 February 1994, catalogue no. 43 'Patrick Swift 1927-1983', Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 1993, no. 43 (illustrated p.72) The exhibition catalogue for the 1993 retrospective situates the present work in the artist's London period from 1955-1962 and notes: Painted in his later sketchy style, this still-life gives a suggestion of light shining in from a window. Swift does not usually attempt to represent the effects of light and shade in a realistic manner, in fact his earlier paintings show his use of light in an arbitrary manner to create particular effects.

* DAVY BROWNTHE WATER OF RENoil on board, dated verso 200661cm x 61cmFramed and under glass. Note: Davy Brown was born in Kilmarnock in 1950. As a young Scottish artist Davy studied at the Glasgow School of Art under David Donaldson and Duncan Shanks. In 1975 he won a modern art scholarship from the Institute of Cultural Affairs in Chicago. This enabled Davy to travel extensively in the USA and Canada. When he returned from his travels he successfully taught contemporary art in Scottish schools. Throughout this time he continued to paint and exhibit his paintings along with other leading Scottish artists in both Scottish art galleries and modern British art galleries further afield. Davy left teaching in 2002 to concentrate on his painting full time. Over the years his paintings, with their very distinctive style, have consistently grown in popularity. For much of this time Davy Brown paintings have been inspired by his love of the Scottish landscapes.

* JAMES HOWIE (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2011), ESTUARY oil on board, signed and dated 1990-1991 verso 122cm x 150cm (approx 48 x 60 inches) Framed Provenance: Acquired The Bruton Gallery, May 1991 by the current owner. A copy of the sales invoice is available to the purchaser. Note: When in 1982 the renowned Glasgow artic critic Denys Sutton was invited to choose the finest 25 painters of the 20th century his choice included Augustus John, Graham Sutherland, Francis Bacon and a comparatively unknown Dundonian, Jimmy Howie, who eschewed the conventional art scene. Later that year John Schlesinger made a television programme about him in which Howie explored his attitude and relative lack of commercial success: ''Either one paints as a vocation or as a career, it is probably impossible to mix the two.'' Howie was later offered and refused a chair in a leading Scottish art college on the grounds that the teaching would interfere with his painting. Jimmy Howie was born in Dundee in 1931, the son of a printer at DC Thomson, and he loved the city dearly. He attended the Harris Academy and then the city's college of art, where he concentrated on learning complex techniques in glazing. After two years of national service, latterly as a sergeant running an educational facility in Liverpool, he spent time in Ibiza and then in an advertising agency in Jamaica and worked for a while as a gesso boy - preparing canvases with glue and chalk - in London, learning in particular the art of canvas stretching and frame making. In 1983 when he spent a year on the waterless Spanish island of Formentera where he mixed his own paints, made his own gesso from rabbit skin and chalk and experimented with traditional glazes. His signature works were large canvases with colours drawn from the soft pallet of the semi-wilderness but often with large dark areas for contrast. Some termed these works gloomy and introspective but their ambers often glowed and their greens shone and others felt that they seemed to turn up the volume on life itself. Such works sold well. He was widely praised by many and would usually hold one show a year, though he only produced around half a dozen works a year, and refused to play the ''art game''. He was happier sitting in his studio in Dundee listening to a test match as he reworked, yet again, one of his masterpieces, than being out at art parties and never made nearly as much money as he might have. He made no pretence of his almost biological need to paint, and more than once compared it to his other great need - to dance. But Jimmy was no mere unworldly artist for he was well read and politically aware and, although naturally cheerful, he was furious at some of the art initiatives that came to Dundee due to what he once termed the ''dodgy men in silly glasses sent to put us right''. Public collections include Glasgow University, Dundee Art Gallery, The Scottish Arts Council & The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

* JOSEPH DAVIE,HEROoil on canvas178.5cm x 150cmFramedNote: Joseph Davie was born in Glasgow in 1965. He studied at Glasgow School of Art during the 80's, when testosterone and figurative painting seemed to go hand in hand. What is so different about Davie is the subtlety and ambiguity of his work. Georgina Coburn (the freelance arts correspondent) has described his work as lyrical, enigmatic, edgy, dreamlike and compelling. She writes : ''Gently provocative Davie delights in the surreal juxtaposition of ideas and materials. The meeting of contradictory characters, cultures or visual elements such as colour, pattern or form, create intriguing dialogues in his work. Davie's wonderfully ambivalent zinc and copperplate etchings, watercolours, oils on canvas and mixed media works inspire an imaginative response. His whole approach to the figure is brilliantly subdued and refreshing. He conveys a sense of the monumental and iconic not through obvious physical scale but in terms of human aspiration.'' His work is in numerous public collections including Glasgow Museum of Modern Art, The Kelvingrove Museum, Historic Scotland and the BBC.

The two year process of working on the commission was the subject of a major BBC documentary. Howson was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2009 Birthday Honours for sevices to the visual arts, and in early 2014 he completed a 300 mile walk in order to raise awareness of autism.His work is represented in numerous public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York; the Tate Gallery, London; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the British Museum, London; The Imperial War Museum, London; The Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow; and The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh.

Amongst its prominent members were the architect Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956) and the designer Koloman Moser (1868-1918). Both were ‘admirers of English applied art; the mood in the world of Viennese applied art around 1900 was Anglophile and progressive’. Work of the British designers, C.R. Ashbee and C.R. Mackintosh who were viewed as the inheritors of the Ruskin-Morris tradition, featured in their 1900 exhibition and influenced subsequent design developments in Vienna. Ashbee’s work was exhibited regularly in Vienna during the first decade of the 20th century. In 1903 Hoffmann and Moser founded the “Wiener Werkstätte, Produktivgenossenschaft von Kunsthandwerkern in Wien” after Hoffmann had been to England and very probably visited Ashbee’s socialist co-operative, “The Guild of Handicraft”. ‘The declared aim of the Wiener Werkstätte was to vanquish the evils of machine manufacturing and the mass production to which it had given rise. It also wished to re-establish direct contact between consumer and producer.’ Artists wished to unify art and life and interior design offered the opportunity to put this into practice. One of the most notable examples was the Purkersdorf Sanatorium designed by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser in 1904-1906 – ‘a synthesis of form and function, of aesthetics and economy, of the outer form…and the activities pursued within’ – where contrasting squares of colour occur throughout. The use of chequered patterns became a sort of Hoffmann trade mark and they featured again, for example, in his design for the Cabaret Fledermaus in 1907. In 1908 Hoffmann designed the exhibition pavilions for the Kunstschau in Vienna that featured the work of Gustav Klimt and his followers as well as the Wiener Werkstätte. Within that exhibition was a special hall, room 29, which was devoted to Kunst für das Kind (Art for the child) and included a number of dolls houses designed and made by students at the Kunstschule für Frauen und Mädchen under the direction of Professor Adolf Böhm. So far it has not been possible to establish whether the doll’s roomset offered here was actually one of those exhibits but it was undoubtedly inspired by and made as a tribute to the work of Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser at around this period. It was acquired by the English furniture designer and retailer Ambrose Heal and found its way to England. The period at the turn of the twentieth century was exactly the time when Ambrose Heal (1872-1959) was at his most productive and in contact with the latest design developments across Europe. Before he had set up his own cabinet workshops, his very first bedroom suite designs were manufactured by C.R. Ashbee’s ‘Guild of Handicraft’ in 1897. Ambrose Heal (he was knighted in 1933 and elected a Royal Designer for Industry in 1939) was the man who was responsible for establishing the high design standards for which the Heal family furnishing business in London became known. He had begun using chequer patterns in his designs as early as 1900 but from 1902 it featured prominently not only on furniture but as a border to the company’s advertising. He would therefore have followed with interest its subsequent adoption and development by Hoffmann. Another interesting parallel is that from 1908 onwards Heal’s began to specialise in children’s furniture so that they were invited to furnish an ‘Ideal Modern Nursery’ at the ‘Children’s Welfare Exhibition’ held at Olympia in 1912. An inventory carried out in  February 1914 at Ambrose Heal’s home, ‘The Fives Court’, Pinner, by Maple & Co. for the purpose of insurance, listed under the contents of the drawing room “Viennese small wood dolls house & toys £2 2s 0d”. It has remained in the family ever since.
