Sir William Orpen RA RI RHA (1878-1931) ARTIST PLAYING BILLIARDS AT PAULTONS, ROMSEY, HAMPSHIRE ink 6 by 9.30in. (15.24 by 23.62cm) Kindly donated by Richard Olivier, grandson of William Orpen.The William Orpen Memorial FundLocal photographer Dominic Lee of Priory Studios has always been an admirer of the work of William Orpen. In 2012 he persuaded the Stillorgan Village Shopping Centre to exhibit a permanent display of Orpen`s paintings and to rename the first floor Orpen Mall"". Mr Jimmy Deenihan TD, Minister for the Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht officially opened the exhibition at which Dominic announced part two of his plan - to have a sculpture of William Orpen erected in Stillorgan.William Orpen was born in Oriel Lodge, Grove Avenue, Stillorgan in 1878. At the age of 12 he attended the Metropolitian School of Art (now the National College of Art & Design) and later attended the Slade Art College in London. He became a very successful society portrait painter and returned to Dublin regularly to teach in his old college. He was involved in the ""Celtic revival"" in Ireland and took part in the attempt there to find a visual counterpart to the birth of new national literary language. Although his studio was in London, he spent time in Ireland painting, he was a friend of Hugh Lane and influenced the Irish realist painters, like Sean Keating, who in turn influenced another generation of Irish painters. He was appointed a War Artist in 1914 and knighted for his services.Rowan Gillespie, renowned sculptor, from neigbouring Blackrock, has been commissioned to create the memorial. Donations may be made to: The Stillorgan Chamber of Commerce - Orpen Fund,12 Lower Kilmacud Road, Stillorgan, Co Dublin, or to www.iDonate.ie/WilliamOrpenThe proceeds of this lot will go to the William Orpen Memorial Fund.

Gerard Dillon (1916-1971) LITTLE BOY PLAYING AT GOD, 1945-46 oil on canvas signed and dated lower left; titled on Waddington Galleries [London] label on reverse 20 by 30in. (50.80 by 76.20cm) Waddington Galleries, London;Private collection;Bonhams, 12 August 2014, lot 236;Private collection This early work by Gerard Dillon shows children playing in the West of Ireland. One boy prays while another older one stands as if he has just been brought back to life. A wooden cross in the currach behind him adds to the religious theme. Two girls embrace each other in mock fear as they look on. Another figure, possibly a fisherman, strides off, making a gesture that suggests he does not take their game very seriously. The barren yellow setting adds to the incongruousness of the subject. A puddle of water reflects the praying child, while a large black mass behind the children adds solidity to the composition. Dillon was captivated by the West of Ireland which he first visited on a cycling holiday in 1939 and to which he returned many times in subsequent years. It became a central theme in his work and featured in the first paintings that he exhibited in Dublin and Belfast during World War II when he was embarking on his career as an artist. In many of his paintings of the West, as in this one, Dillon combines his fascination with the region with an astute knowledge of modern art, often making humorous references to the work of other and more famous artists. The latter he knew from visiting museums in London where he lived before being marooned in Ireland during the war. He also gained much knowledge of modern French art through colour reproductions in illustrated art books, then becoming more widely available. Little Boy Playing at God appears to make reference to Puvis de Chavannes`s 1881 painting, The Poor Fisherman. It plays on the simplicity of life in the West of Ireland and on the inherent spirituality of its inhabitants. The children are able to re-enact a powerful religious story through the power of their imagination. But typically of Dillon it also brings in a note of levity that is absent from more established representations of the West as seen in the work of Paul Henry or Sean Keating, two older and more senior artists than he. This novel way of approaching the subject delighted a new generation of Irish art lovers who sought a less reverential way of portraying the West, one that related to their experience of it.
