Successful in the mid-1850s, shows there included the Free Exhibition of Modern Art, a South African show, and dioramas of Ireland and the Holy Land. Dickens attended an exhibition at St. Georges featuring `Kaffir Life` in 1853, and walked away with a rather dim opinion of the "Noble Savage." The Turkish show featured in this promotional program was mounted in 1854. The final exhibition at St. George`s, it featured several tableaux of wax figures depicting notable scenes from Middle-Eastern life, including royal baths, a slave market, and a harem. (4).

Gerard Dillon (1916-1971) CURRACHS OFF ROUNDSTONEoil on boardsigned lower leftL20 by 24in., 50 by 60cm.The Collection of Catherine Walston; Thence by descent to previous owner; Whyte`s, 29 November 2005, lot 87; Whence purchased by present ownerGerard Dillon discovered Connemara in 1939 when, on a break from his job as a decorator in London, he toured the area. Coming from Belfast and living in London, Dillon had a very romantic idea of the West. He considered it `a great strange land of wonder to the visitor from the red brick city`, (1) as he put it, and he took every opportunity to stay there. James White wrote that Dillon`s unique approach to the landscape of the West came from the fact that `he looked away from the mist and the heather and became enraptured with the reality of the people, farming, fishing, drinking and dancing`. (2)In 1950-51 Dillon spent a year living on the island of Inishlacken, off the Galway coast. The nearest town on the mainland was Roundstone and he frequently visited and painted there, travelling by boat across the mile of water that separated them. This period on Inishlacken is recounted in James MacIntyre`s book, Three Men on an Island, (Belfast, 1996) which contains humorous accounts and illustrations of the antics of Dillon and his fellow artists, MacIntyre and George Campbell as they adapted to island life and to the friendships and adventures that beset them. Currachs off Roundstone depicts a group of currachs drawing up at the quayside of Inishlacken, which is not visible in the painting. Behind them baking in evening sunlight and looking more like a Mediterranean village than an Irish one is Roundstone. The painting evokes the simplicity of life in the West of Ireland in the rudimentary forms of the currachs floating on the surface of the blue-grey sea. In the foremost boat a lobster pot full of catch is visible. From their orange colour the creatures look as if they are have already been cooked, a witticism on Dillon`s part. An old man holds the oar upright while his companion pulls the boat towards its docking port. The latter`s face is painted green suggesting the shadow cast by the quayside wall. Such expressive and exaggerated use of colour also refers to the exotic nature of the islanders` existence. Dillon was strongly influenced by European expressionism and especially the work of the Jewish painter, Marc Chagall which uses strong evocative colours and childlike forms to recreate the magical scenes of his childhood in Russia before anti-Semitic violence destroyed this world and drove the artist into exile in Paris. Through visiting exhibitions in London and by looking at colour reproductions of modernist art Dillon familiarised himself with such modern art. He combines this aesthetic in his work with a style drawn from Irish Early Christian art especially the carvings of monks and biblical scenes found on the High Crosses.Dillon`s work was widely admired in Ireland and in London in the late 1940s and 1950s. He was supported during these years by the art dealer Victor Waddington. This painting belonged to Catherine Walston, a lover of the novelist Graham Greene and a devotee of Irish art. She began staying at Dooagh on Achill Island in 1947 and clearly shared Dillon`s veneration for the West of Ireland as presented in this painting. Dr. Róisín KennedyApril, 2013Footnotes:1.

* Jake and Dinos ChapmanUHM011, Bronze, 2002. Purchased from the Jake and Dinos ‘Chapman Family Collection’ Exhibition at White Cube in 2002, accompanied by two copies of the exhibition catalogue. The infamously subversive Jake and Dinos Chapman have, over the years, developed numerous works referencing the global fast food giant McDonalds as a reference of critique towards, what they perceive, as the moral bankruptcy of modernity. Their emphatic attention to detail creates an atmosphere around their work impossible to ignore or surpass. The ‘Chapman Family Collection’ exhibited in 2002 for example, used catalogue numbers of each item such as CFC76311561 and CFC77227084 which are in fact the telephone numbers of McDonald’s branches in central London. Their humour is not lost on the art critics such as Neal Brown who comments “The Chapman’s critique was one of mischievous conceptual slipperiness: both excessively silly and eminently sensible’ (Neal Brown, ‘Burger Fetish’, Modern Painters, Spring 2003, p.95) and two copies of the accompanying book (one Mint)

Ben (Benedict Chukwukadibia) Enwonwu, M.B.E (Nigerian, 1917-1994), a carved wood head, with polished scalp, unsigned, 34cm (13in). Enwonwu was a pioneer in the development of modern Nigerian art, and his legacy has enriched and projected Nigerian art onto the international scene. He studied first under his father, then with British archaeologist and art teacher, Kenneth C. Murray, in pre-Independence Lagos. Thanks to the recommendation of Murray, Enwonwu travelled to the UK, where he exhibited at the Zwemmer Gallery and the Glasgow Empire Exhibition. He was awarded a grant by the British Council to continue his study, first at Goldsmith’s, and then the Slade School of Fine Art (1946-48). He returned to Nigeria as Arts Advisor to the government Ben Enwonwu had some business dealings with the vendor`s father, who was a caster, and became a family friend and regular visitor to their home during the 1970s and 80s. This piece was acquired by the vendor`s father from Ben directly in the mid 1970s. The vendor recalls "I do remember a conversation between my parents about the head - my mother didn`t like it much but I remember my father saying what an important artist Ben was and how delighted he was to have another piece by him (sadly there were more, now lost)."
