Gerard Dillon (1916-1971) The Wonderful Farm Machine Mixed media, 56 x 76.5cm (22 x 30") Signed Exhibited: "Gerard Dillon, New Collages", The Dawson Gallery, 1-17th May 1969, Cat No. 5; where purchased by the current owner An admirer of Marc Chagall, the artist's work from 1967 depicts complex multi-layered images often from the artist's subconscious, which are open to interpretation. Anxiety of his mortality following the death of his three brothers may have caused the artist's interest into Jungian psychology which led him to a deep psychological preoccupation to search for answers. The artist commented about these images "I have been able to use my subconscious and yet control it. It's poetic, and yet more colourful…"(Belfast Newsletter, 21/4/67) "The Wonderful Farm Machine" exhibited at the artist's solo show at the Dawson Gallery in 1969 is similar to another work sold in these salerooms "Clowns on a Bog" (lot 123, 2/6/10, see image) where the appearance of two masked Pierrot appear in a mountainous landscape with a farm machine. At first glance, the figures appear as farm labourers chasing birds from a wheat field, but the fantastical farm machine causes us to revisit the scene. The image may depict two worlds, the artist in an imagined or dream world, and living in his present one. The striped bird, Pierrot and machine may belong to the "poetic colourful world". The seated Pierrot with mannequin-like features resembles the artist's work from the 1950's, when the local people in the West of Ireland were captured resting against haystacks. To the left the jumping Pierrot draws the viewer to the shapes in the sky. The shapes may be clouds that represent his three brothers, Joe, John and Patrick. The Pierrot appears excited by the clouds, but may also be agitated by their proximity. Could the unadorned Pierrot, bird and clouds reflect the artist's conscious fear of his mortality? Perhaps in endeavouring to deal with his anxieties, the artist wished to depict a supernatural place, a landscape drawn from his memories of summers in Connemara, where a wonderful farm machine appears to be harvesting in a vivid yellow landscape. Influenced by the avant-garde artist Pablo Picasso, the artist loved to experiment with techniques and different approaches to image making. The landscape appears momentarily to be naturalistic, but by combing the paint while still wet, the lines accentuate rhythms, and the various cuts outs add texture and intensity to an otherwise flat image.

Gerard Dillon (1916-1971) Ego Mixed media, 39.5 x 29cm (15.5 x 11.5") Signed Dawson Gallery label verso; where purchased by the current owner Dillon's adoption of the masked pierrot as his alter ego was in homage to the Harlequin and Pierrot in works by Picasso, Braque and Miró, but the artist developed this disguise in a time of grief, social conservatism and as a way to express his inner world without religious or social indignation. The artist's interest in the personality behind the mask also relates to the psychology of Carl Jung. (see lot …'Clown with Red Canvas"). Due to the artist's Catholic Nationalist background, he had grown accustomed in a period of illegality, to keeping his personal and public personae completely separate. The masked Pierrot in oversized coat and fur collar may display the "masquerade" of his ego, and the other faceless figure may manifest the concealment of his private life. The image of horse and bareback rider is a subject that features in the artist's work including in his last series of etchings. Passionate about prehistoric history, the circular lines may be linked to the megalithic art of spiral designs on the kerbstones at the eastern and western entrances at the great passages graves of Knowth in the Boyne Valley, which were discovered in the late 1960's. The artist had a habit of finding old frames similar to this one, which he sometimes hand painted or embellished with small objects to enhance the finished work. Karen Reihill

*§ VASSILIEFF, MARIE (1884-1957) Petite fille au chat , signed. Oil on canvas, 81 by 65 cm. Authenticity certificate from the expert Claude Bernès.Exhibited: Exposition Marie Vassilieff, poupées, sculpture, et peinture, chez Martine, Paris, 15 December 1922-15 January 1923, No. 45.Literature: Exhibition catalogue, Exposition Marie Vassilieff, poupées, sculpture, et peinture, Paris, 1923, p. 14, No. 45, listed.The celebrated Russian Parisian, Marie Vassilieff, is represented here by a splendid early work, Petite fille au chat. Vassilieff was in Paris from 1908, being one of the few artists who had emigrated before the Revolution, for cultural and aesthetic reasons unrelated to politics and the imminent horrors of both the February and October revolutions. Prior to 1922 when she exhibited Petite fille au chat, Vassilieff had acquired a rich exhibition history; while still in Russia she had shown her work alongside such masters as Jean Pougny, Nadezhda Udaltzova, Olga Rozanova and Lyubov Popova, and even exhibited with Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov in London in 1921. Marie Vassilieff of course owed her popularity to Henri Matisse, who took the Russian artist under his wing and followed her creative development with great interest. Matisse was especially captivated by her originality and her attraction to archaic forms couched in Cubist stylisation. The world-famous maître also introduced her to his distinguished colleagues Picasso, Braque, Léger, Gris, Delaunay and many others.At the very end of the 1910s and beginning of the 1920s radically new tendencies manifested themselves in her work, which were linked with her passion for the art of Central and South Africa. Vassilieff did not restrict her activity to painting and graphics but was also interested in dolls, creating a great number, cut from wood and paper or sewn from fabric or leather, to give to friends and colleagues. This is clearly reflected in the change in her painting technique and the plasticity of her forms in this period. Images of childhood are interwoven with a world of toys and dolls, defenceless in its touching and primitive elaboration.We know for certain that Petite fille au chat was shown with other works from her childhood cycle, at a 1922 exhibition organised by the Paris fashion designer Paul Poiret. The exhibition was an avowed success, illustrating the achievements of a fundamentally “new” Vassilieff, constantly on the look out for her individuality. The new genre scenes of children and toys were less dissected by aggressive planes (as were her rather mannered, imitative works of the 1910s) but had a distinctive and stylised “sub-Cubisation”.We would like to thank Claude Bernès for providing additional catalogue information.

Micheal Farrell 1940-2000 JOYCE AND PICASSO AT CAFE FLORE, PARIS Oil on canvas, 49" x 45" (124.5 x 114cm), signed and dated 91 & 92 verso. Provenance Galerie Origrafica, Malmo, Sweden Michael Farrell held a particularly close affection for James Joyce. Not only was he a great admirer of his work but he felt a close affinity with him and their shared status as exiled Irishmen. In 1982 Farrell produced La Fete, a large canvas depicting an alleged gathering in Paris of Picasso, Stravinsky, Nijinsky, Joyce and others in May 1922. He was subsequently told that Joyce and Picasso had met regularly at the Café de Flore in Paris. `They never spoke. Picasso made pieces of sculpture and objects from cardboard matchsticks, then passed them to Joyce. These strange meetings intrigued Michael and, in the early 1990`s, formed the basis of a series, Le Rencontre, which spanned several years.` David Farrell, Michael Farrell, The Life and Work of an Irish Artist, The Liffey Press, Dublin, 2006. In many instance`s in this series the focus is on the interplay between the usually seated Picasso and Joyce, with the latter sometimes standing, sometimes crouching and at other times sitting at an adjoining table observing Picasso creating his matchstick sculptures. In our painting Farrell brings Picasso`s creations to the fore and studies the erotic charge Picasso has invested in them under the studious, detached gaze of a truncated Joyce.

Casting mostly small works for various artists using the lost wax technique (cire perdue) they worked for Renoir, Picasso Despiau, Paul Troubetzkoy, Matisse and Gaugin amongst others. Claude Valsuani died in 1923, but his son Marcele continued to produce fine quality bronzes until the 1970’s.

Daniel O`Neill (1920-1974) FLORENCE oil on board signed lower left 24.50 by 18.50in. (62.23 by 46.99cm) Dan O`Neill was born in Belfast in 1920. He was one of a small group of talented Ulster painters which included Colin Middleton, George Campbell and Gerard Dillon who were largely self-taught and who absorbed in differing ways and to varying degrees aspects of European mainstream modernism. His first exhibition was a joint show with Gerard Dillon in 1946 and his first one man exhibition was at the Waddington Galleries, Dublin in 1946. Around that time he gave up his job as an electrician to devote his time to painting. He visited Paris in 1949 and one can detect influences from Vlaminck and other French artists in his work. He lived in London from 1958 to1971. O`Neill painted still lives, landscapes, religious pictures and many figure studies. Whether in the guise of the bride, the actress or the muse - portraits of women remained a constant theme. His women, brooding and often taken out of time, could be hauntingly archetypal and melancholic; at other times dressed theatrically in historical costume. In some works his figures register correspondences with the sky or the moon. In his painting Florence, however the background is neutralised so as to focus on the subject. The face is stylised and her `Picasso` eyes seem to stare into the distance. O`Neill`s love of depicting pattern can be seen in his simplified treatment of the necklace; while the swirling brush stokes of the cuffs and collar of her dress underline the importance of texture for him. Blue, a favourite choice, is the unifying dominant colour, linking backdrop and figure and recalling the decorative aspects of Renoir. Collections: He is represented in private collections in Ireland, England ,France, Holland, Sweden, USA, Canada and Israel. His work is also included in the following public collections; Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, Dublin, The Arts Councils of Ireland, The Municipal Gallery, Cork, The National Gallery, Melbourne and The Herbert Gallery, Coventry.

He studied art at the Central School of Art and Design, London in 1969 and the National College of Art and Design, Dublin from 1970 to 1973 before moving abroad for several years. Cullen`s work has an underlying autobiographical aspect that sees him referring both himself and his work to such masters as Velasquez and Picasso. With his multicoloured carnival palette, Cullen`s paintings and prints reveal the influence of time spent in Mexico, Spain and Morocco that adds a festive air to proceedings. The profusion of bright, clean colour is emphasised by accents of brilliant white, and Cullen`s work often includes imagery of cowboys, still lives, bullfighters and infantas. Michael Cullen was awarded the Independent Artists` Major Painting Award in 1984 and the National Portrait Award in 1989. He has been the recipient of several Arts Council bursaries is also an elected member of Aosdána.

Cullen`s work is included in private collections throughout the country and is also represented in the public collections of the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Dundee Contemporary Arts Society, Scotland, amongst others.
