Harry Kernoff RHA (1900-1974) The Twins: "There's only a few of us left" Oil on board, 61 x 75.5cm (24 x 29¾") Signed, signed again verso and inscribed Exhibited : "A Time and a Place - Two Centuries of Irish Social Life" National Gallery of Ireland Oct 2006 - Jan 2007 Cat. No. 71; "The Moderns" IMMA Oct 2010 - Feb 2011 Cat. No. 44; and "Ireland Her People and Landscape" The Ava Gallery June - September 2012 Cat. No. 24. Literature: "A Time and a Place - Two Centuries of Irish Social Life" National Gallery of Ireland 2006 Illustrated p.134; "The Moderns" IMMA 2011 Full page illustration p.72; and "Ireland Her People and Landscape" 2012 Illustrated p.31 Kernoff was born in London yet his ties to Ireland were firmly cemented when the family moved to Dublin, and he attended the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, where he was influenced by Sean Keating and studied alongside Maurice MacGonigal. Typical of the hardy characters Kernoff often chose to paint, the twins present a united front and look introspectively like two halves of the same whole. They raise their pints of Guinness as a kind of barrier, while at the same time casting a sharp but not unamused eye towards the artist, and consequently the viewer. Wearing their patched frieze coats, hats and collars turned up at the neck (despite being inside) they look as though they are surveying their surroundings before settling in completely. The betting slip tucked into a cuff, the pipe and walking stick add more descriptive details. Kernoff represents himself with the ubiquitous diminutive stemmed glass, as seen in his other paintings including 'In Davy's Back Snug' (1936) and 'In Davy's Parlour Snug'. This painting is an important example of Kernoff's keen eye and empathy for the warmth and personality of Dublin and its people. The subtitle 'There's only a few of us left' could as easily refer to the rarity of twins as to the disappearance of these kinds of 'characters' who inhabited Dublin's pubs on a regular basis.
