The most familiar surviving element is Tara Street railway station seen to the far right where a steam train approaches the bridge to cross the Liffey. The haphazard Dutch gabled dwellings seen on Burgh Quay (now the Ulster Bank offices) house a hive of activity while their decorated windows with flags, including a tricolour and county colours, suggest a festival or sporting event. A hairdressing salon is recorded at the street corner with plenty of pedestrian traffic out front. A horse drawn cart brings its load to the edge of the dock where a ship is berthed ready for loading. The scene is observed from the north side of the Liffey on Custom House Quay by the artist and two prominent figures in the foreground, an aging stevedore to the right and a eager-looking youth to the left.

Eamon de Valera was commander of the garrison, which was the last to hold out against the British army. Kernoff has portrayed the rear of the building as seen from the Grand Canal Basin. This stretch of the canal is now home to Google headquarters as well as other business and apartment complexes.
Seán Keating PRHA HRA HRSA (1889-1977) ARAN WOMAN (also known as THE MATRIARCH), c.1952-1955pastel and conté on tinted papersigned lower right; with Victor Waddington Galleries label preserved on reverse; also with BOI collection number [2945] on reverseP17 by 14in., 42.5 by 35cm.The Collection of the Bank of Ireland;Their sale, Adam`s, 24 November 2010, lot 5;Private collectionAlthough the identity of this Aran woman is unknown, Seán Keating did at least three paintings or drawings of her between 1952 and 1955, all of which were based on a black and white photograph. He was fascinated by the ageing process, and by the wisdom of old age. As a young child growing up in Limerick, Keating`s paternal grandfather, Michael, lived in the family home in Newenham Street, where he gave guidance and inspiration to his grandchildren until his death at the age of ninety four. Michael`s son, Joseph, was Keating`s father. In later years, Joseph Keating lived with his grown up children in Windsor Road, Rathmines. He too, was a source of encouragement and advice to his children, and later, his grandchildren, until he passed away at the age of ninety two. Indeed, the artist himself lived to be eighty eight years of age, having raised two sons, given grandfatherly reassurance to five grandchildren and documented his own aging process in a series of extraordinary self-portraits. Given his personal experience, it is not at all surprising that Keating was so concerned to recognise and to pay tribute to the hard-won intuition that is so acutely evident in this fine example of his work. He has portrayed the old woman in a calm and meditative mood that seems to mirror her acceptance of life from the perspective of her years. When she was a young woman she worried about life, but according to this image, she knows that there is no point in such troubles. The drawing is an excellent example of Keating`s intuitive perception of the dignity of old age.Dr Éimear O`Connor HRHAResearch AssociateTRIARC-Irish Art Research Centre, TCD.Eimear O`Connor`s book, Seán Keating: Art, Politics and Building the Nation, is published in full colour by Irish Academic Press (April 2013) and is available in soft back, hard back (signed limited edition) and slip case (signed limited edition).

Tony O`Malley HRHA (1913-2003) THE ISLAND OF ARAWAKS, 1982oil on boardsigned with initials and dated lower right; signed again, titled, dated and with artist`s archival number [521] and address [St. Ives, Cornwall] on reverseP48 by 36in., 120 by 90cm.Taylor Galleries, Dublin;Private collectiondeVere`s, 12 June 1996, lot 119;Private collection`Tony O`Malley`, Taylor Galleries, Dublin, from October, 1986When, in 1974, Tony O`Malley began winter visits to his wife`s family in the Bahamas, its warmth and sunshine led to paintings that celebrated the sea, sun, exotic birds and foliage of this tropical paradise. He continued to go there yearly until 1987, leaving a body of upbeat work that is quite distinct in feeling from his Irish contemporaries.O`Malley`s work is always permeated by a strong `sense of place` but not in an obvious way. Paintings like The Island of Arawaks go beyond a mere literal description. He draws on the totality of his experience, the seeing plus the feeling, and works like a poet to distil this into a concise abstract composition. The glorious colour of this painting has the lightness and luminosity associated with O`Malley`s Bahamian works. It has a bold vertical composition with an intricately patterned central panel set between calmer blue bands. One can imagine the artist`s experience of the island with all his senses bombarded by the novelty and strangeness of exotic birds, butterflies, flowers and fish. O`Malley has taken bits from all of these and has woven them into the surface of the painting. He was also inevitably influenced by the bold, colourful fabrics worn by the locals, the brightly costumed festival dancers and the music, which uses cowbells, drums, horns and whistles. The central panel expresses the cacophony of noise, colour, pattern and movement that epitomises island life. And, against all that is the liquid calmness of the sea, suggested by ethereal blue bands at either side.There is a sense of internal harmony in O`Malley`s work which he achieves by subtle repetition of shapes. An orange leafy shape punctuates and animates the main panel in several spots. This shape is expanded and reappears throughout the composition, most noticeably in the centre as pale, fish-like lozenges. A kind of feathered wing motif appears all three sections. Although the painting is made up of three dramatic vertical columns, O`Malley softens the composition by the repetition of sinuous curves. He forces the eye to wind through the painting, in and out of all three sections in fluid curvilinear paths. Frances Ruane HRHA April, 2013
