McWilliam at Banbridge, F.E. McWilliam Gallery, Banbridge, 2008, p.36 (illustrated) From McWilliam's accurate dating of 34.01, this work was completed by artist as his first work in 1934, when he and his wife Beth, who he had married in 1932, lived in Chartridge, Buckinghamshire.In 1931, F.E. McWilliam travelled to Paris on a Robert Ross Leaving Scholarship from the Slade with fellow student Beth Crowther, from Golear, near Huddersfield, whom he was to marry in March 1932 at St. John's Presbyterian Church, Kensington, London. The McWilliams intended to live, study and work in Paris since: 'it was the mecca, and the whole atmosphere testified to this; holy ground, full of memories of Cézanne and the presence of Picasso.' He met Zadkine and visited his studio and he also went to Brancusi's studio and was given an extensive tour by the Romanian sculptor with long discussions on his work practice. However, in 1932/33 sterling collapsed against the French franc and both Beth and "Mac" (as he was known affectionately by his friends) were forced to return to England where they rented a home in Chartridge, Buckinghamshire set in a cherry orchard surrounded by sycamores.With the ready material of the trees and the space available McWilliam began carving, which was his first love. He had befriended the Belfast sculptor George MacCann (1909-67) as students in London and through him was introduced to Henry Moore. MacCann had been a student of Moore's at the Royal College of Art. Moore was, at the time, a carver in stone and wood and his influence then was enormous, not only in England but also internationally.'Man and Wife', incorporates the simple forms, the reduction of facial features, the merging of the two bodies which are still manifestly recognizable as a man and a woman in close harmony.George McClelland loved the integrity of this work but it took some persuading to get McWilliam to part with it, possibly because the work reminded the sculptor of the early years of his marriage and his love for his wife, Beth. McClelland, desired it too for a similar reason, as it reminded George of himself, his larger frame towering over his more petite wife, Maura. Dr Denise FerranMay 2017 16.50 by 8.50 by 5.50in.

Linda Brunker (b.1966) FLOW, 1995. bronze; (no. 2 from an edition of 5) signed with intials, dated and numbered Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner. 'Linda Brunker New York', American Irish Historical Society, New York, 9-20 May 1995, and Allied Irish Bank, New York, 23 May - 13 June 1995. Linda Brunker has been a full-time sculptor since graduating from NCAD in 1988. She has developed her own innovative style of bronze casting. She has had many solo shows in Dublin, New York and Los Angeles and has completed private and public commissions worldwide. Public commissions include Voyager, a large female figure made from a filigree of bronze elements from the sea which overlooks the Pacific Ocean at the Montage Hotel in Laguna Beach, California, The Wishing Hand at the Department of Education, Marlborough Square, Dublin, and Two For Joy, Garda Síochána, Bray, Co. Wicklow.From her studios in Southern California and Dublin she makes sculptures on all scales from monumental corporate and public sculptures to small tabletop pieces in bronze or stone. Her sculptures are predominantly based on the human form. She typically incorporates elements taken from nature such as leaves, feathers or shells to create images “composed into flowing shapes which echo the rhythms of wind, fire and water.”"In Linda Brunker’s elegant sculptures, masses of natural forms, from leaves to starfish, bear the imprint of human, usually female, heads and bodies. They are emblematic of the structural patterns that connect not just living things but all forms on all scales, from microscopic to cosmic. The work is technically impeccable and often ingenious......" Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times, 1996. 51.50 by 20.50in. (130.8 by 52.1cm)
