‡PHILIP MUIRDEN (1932-2023) mixed media - entitled verso, 'Dock Wheel', signed, 68 x 48cms, framed and glazed, pencil on paper - entitled, 'Man & Trap No.1', fully signed, 49 x 53cms, framed and glazed, pencil on paper - entitled, 'Milford Haven, Belgium Fisherman', signed, 47 x 67cms, framed and glazed (3)Auctioneers Note: Philip Muirden was born in Pembrokeshire and educated at Haverfordwest Grammar School. He went on to study at Cardiff College of Art before completing a Master’s Degree at The Royal Academy of Art. Philip became a lecturer at Mansfield College of Art from 1965 to 1972 and a Senior Lecturer at Newport College of Art from 1972 to 1991. A draughtsman of the very highest order, Philip’s drawings of marine subjects are both breath-taking and brilliant in their observation and what he described as ‘retinal experience’. There is a strong surreal element to his paintings, showing very imaginative and poetic handling with what he termed ‘considerations of surreal and social themes’. During his life as an artist Philip Muirden always avoided the production of works with a unified, pre-conceived brand image. His output contains celebrations of his ‘retinal images’, such as the wonderful fishing boat subject matter he painted. His intellectually inspired work and reflections on the human condition were frequently presented.Provenance: decreased estate, PembrokeshireComments: frames/glazing loose, combined image of paintings not to scale, see description for measurements, inspection advised

Lot 854
A collection of German elastolin and lineol toy figures of cowboys and indians, Hausser, 1st half 20th C.Some marked "GERMANY", some marked "ELASTOLIN". In 1904 the brothers Otto and Max Hausser took over the wholesale company Muller and Freyer in Ludwigsburg and in 1910 they started the production of board games and composition figures, mostly depicting soldiers and other war toys. They were made from a paste with wire frames in tin moulds. The brand name ELASTOLIN used by Hausser was soon used colloquially even beyond Germany as a generic name for composition figures made by other manufacturers. By the end of the 1930s, over 3 million figures were produced annually. The toy production was discontinued in 1943 and only resumed in 1946/47. In 1969 the production of traditional composition figures was discontinued and Hausser now produced, similar to Timpo Toys, plug-in figures in which the individual components were injection-moulded from differently coloured plastic. After many successful years, sales declined and O. and M. Hausser KG had to file for bankruptcy in 1983. Trademark rights and figure shapes were taken over by the Preiser company, which still produces hard plastic figures on a scale of 1:25.

Louis le Brocquy HRHA (1916-2012) Cavanagh (1974) Aubusson wool tapestry, 382 x 386cm (150½ x 152'') Signed and dated (19)'74 UniqueProduced by Tabard Freres & Soeurs, France No:2031 (label verso)Provenance: Privately commissioned from the artist for Setanta House, DublinTapestry art was having somewhat of a renaissance in the twentieth century, becoming a medium, which was increasingly attractive to progressive modernist artists. French artist Jean Lucrat had pioneered this approach in tapestry design some years earlier, developing a technique, which prioritised the material as the guiding principle for the design rather than an attempt to make the tapestry conform to the characteristics of the painted image. Le Brocquy was drawn to Lucrat's example, whereby he could create very detailed and colour coded templates that the weavers would follow with exact precision. He rejected the painted cartoon in favour of a full-scale linear design. This allowed him to directly indicate each transition of colour and tone in the woven fabric.He had already collaborated on numerous occasions with the workshop of Tabard Frères et Soeurs in the Aubusson region. In 1973 he resumed working on a new series based on the themes and imagery of The Táin. This resulted in the Cúchulainn tapestries, which emerged in various iterations over the following decades. The Milles Tetes (Thousand Heads) series is a distinctive example of both Le Brocquy's sustained interest in representing the human head and the visual effect of inverting colour and tone. This work is a unique piece, commissioned for a private client, which draws on the similar design tropes of the series.The stylized heads arranged in rows, suggestive of some massing force, are distinctive, drawn with their own features and characteristics. Yet through their repeated presence across the woven surface, they blend into one another to create 'a mass of human presence' (Dorothy Walker, Louis Le Brocquy, Dublin, 1981, p.51). The dark austerity of the Tain's illustrations are replaced here by vibrant colours. The shift in tone from bold primary colours in the centre to paler hues creates a dramatic effect.In this work, Le Brocquy was able to explore the interdependence of form, colour and narrative content on a monumental scale. It is an extremely expressive work in which he has layered the colours, to exemplify the full spectrum. The background shifts from black to varying degrees of grey and white, which is then layered with primary colour tones. These move across the tapestry from paler hues in arrangement of blue, green, yellow and red. The longer you observe it, the more visually receptive it becomes. As Le Brocquy remarked on this effect on the human eye, "Further to the emotional character of single and interrelated colour, lies the magic of colour inversion. Staring fixedly at a colour or colours, the saturated eye - shifting to a white surface - precisely inverts those colours both in hue and tonally. A retinal 'memory' emerges inverted, an entirely new perception as contrary as night from day".

Gerard Dillon (1916-1971) Abstract by NightOil on Masonite, 122 x 183cm (48 x 72'')Signed; inscribed verso 'FOR IRISH EXHIBITION OF LIVING ART' and numbered '24'Provenance: Sake, Christie's, London, 18 February 1988, Lot 200, where purchased by the current owner*Subject to Import VAT - see p.9, note no.3.Although painted in style of abstraction, this work still maintains some representational elements, and its title Abstract by Night gives us some indication of a setting and timeframe. Working in a strong palette of colours, the stark shifts between the white and black backgrounds, heightens the intensity of the composition. The crescent shaped moon is set against an inky black sky along with diamond shaped yellow stars, shining brightly. Painted on a significant scale, it is a visually impressive work and one that is rich with symbolism.There are two distinct forms running both horizontally and vertically across the canvas. Visually, they appear, if viewed from above, as if we are looking down on a warren of streets in a town. A patchwork pattern of blocks of colour separated by weaving grey spirals. There is also an element of Celtic imagery at play here, with Dillon using motifs of spiral and circular forms, reflecting the archaeological and ancient history of Ireland. Imagery which is also evident in his earlier West of Ireland scenes.In the work Dillon is experimenting with geometric forms, line and colour, aspects that dominated modernist art of the 1920s abstract expressionism of 1950s. He has sectioned off areas of the composition, with clear lines separating elements from each other, while at other moments they overlap and interweave. From 1960s onwards he had adopted an abstract manner of painting, and in these works, texture was an important feature, using various different materials including sand. He represented Ireland at the Guggenheim International in 1960 with an oil and sand abstract work entitled Masquerade.The work is inscribed on the back ‘FOR IRISH EXHIBITION OF LIVING ART,’ an annual exhibition that aimed to highlight the modernist art movement in Ireland. Abstract art emerging in the 1920s did not reflect the approach adopted by the newly independent Irish Free State focusing on promoting a unique and traditional ‘Irish style’ of art. Dillon exhibited many times at IELA, from the inaugural exhibition in 1943 until his own death in 1971. Unfortunately, we do not know definitively if this work was included in the exhibition as the title does not match with records of his exhibited works.Niamh Corcoran, March 2025
