ere, an ingenious yet philosophically credible sepia illusion is created: the figure of Ballagh, in checked shirt, jeans and H glasses, is seen accompanying James Joyce on a stroll down O’Connell Street some day early last century. The original source photograph of what was then (before Irish Independence) known as Sackville Street was taken in 1904, the year in which Ulysses is set.
obert Ballagh was one of the twelve artists who were asked to create a work inspired by a European city, to be included in R the publication ‘Twelve European Artists’, edited by New Artists Ltd in 1989, with an essay by Edward Lucie-Smith, approx 200 offset lithographs were also produced. The present work is the original.

12 Louis Le Brocquy HRHA 1916-2012
IMAGE OF OSCAR WILDE
Watercolour, 24" x 18" (61 x 46cm), signed & dated 1992.
Provenance: The Kerlin Gallery, Dublin, 1992 (label verso).
Few mastered the art of appearances as Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), the Dublin-born writer and dramatist. If a book were judged by its cover, then young Wilde became a champion of the cover-up, a man whose witty, glittering persona masked personal suffering and struggle. His excess of surface became its own aesthetics but everything changed, utterly, after Wilde was brought down by a combination of enemies, spent time in Reading Gaol and then died in exile, in Paris.
Wilde died an outcast just 16 years before Louis le Brocquy was born in Dublin. Wilde’s birthplace in Westland Row and childhood home on Merrion Square were a stroll away from the studio le Brocquy set up in Merrion Row in Winter, 1942, before co-founding the Irish Exhibition of Living Art the following year. “To Louis it meant more than a convenient circumstance in which to paint,” the artist Anne Madden records. “It was the opening of a space vibrant with possibility.” Located between Wilde’s house and Jack Yeats’s studio in Fitzwilliam Square, it placed le Brocquy literally in the centre of a debate about the place of the artist that led him, eventually, to engage with what is now called the Heads series.
By 1992, when he began to engage with Wilde’s spirit, le Brocquy had burrowed through surface images of geniuses such as Joyce, Lorca, Shakespeare and Beckett, the better to grasp the inner man. His studies of the human face in isolation, provoked in part by Celtic heads as well as by the collection at Paris’s Musee de l’Homme, were intense, forensic inquiries into the mysterious, constantly-changing spirit of human subjectivity, into what distinguishes one from the other, what makes each unique.

Literature: JACK B YEATS - A CATALOGUE RAISONNE by Hilary Pyle, No. 287.
The richly painted river scene is one of many paintings that Yeats did of towns and cities in Ireland in 1925, a prolific year for his work. At this period he was moving from his early realist style to his later expressionist approach. The forms are constructed out of thickly, applied colour, prophetic of the future direction of his work. Yeats painted another version of the subject in 1947, when he created a group of paintings that centred on boats and waterways.
summer’s day is evoked through the title, ‘The Return from the Picnic’ but also from the warm pink tones of colour on the A water in the left foreground that suggest the rays of evening sunlight. Touches of rose are also used to delineate the rowing boat with its picnickers that moves towards the tall industrial buildings on the quayside. The taller roofs suggest a sizeable town, probably Sligo where the Garavogue flows by such edifices. This was a town and river that Yeats knew well, having been brought up there by his grandparents whose family regularly conducted its shipping and mercantile business in such surroundings.
The facade of the structures is divided into vibrant blues on the left where the sunlight is more intense and dark tones on the right where the structures are in shadow. This division extends into the water where the right side is depicted in darker greens and blues. The solid construction of the quayside is subtly contrasted by the vibrant form of the tree on the extreme left. Its tall swaying branches add life and movement to the scene, evoking the pleasures of nature and leisurely pursuits of the picnic goers as they return to the town. Deceptively simple, the painting uses a complex blend of colour and contrasting forms to convey the physical sensation of warm sunlight, lapping water and stone buildings, subtly bringing the eye into this strangely tranquil world where nature and city meet. Dr. Roisin Kennedy, May 2014

George and Madge Campbell
Auction of works from the studio of
GEORGE CAMPBELL RHA 1917-1979 (LOTS 30-62) Virtually a self-taught artist, George Campbell abandoned commercial life and became a full time artist in the early 1940s. In 1944, he held his first exhibition with Gerard Dillon at John Lamb’s Gallery in Portadown and was to become a lifelong friend of Dillon’s. In 1946 he held the first of many successful shows with Victor Waddington in Dublin and in 1947 he started a long association with the RHA, where he was to exhibit close to one hundred works over the next 30 years. Campbell first visited Spain in 1951 and that country was to play a leading part in his life up until his death. As well as painting, Campbell took a keen interest in the Guitar and was recognised as a quality Flamenco guitarist in Malaga. Musicians were to become popular subject matter for his painting. The West of Ireland was a place he visited most years, sometimes in the company of Gerard Dillon. Another Northern Ireland artist, Arthur Armstrong, was to become a close friend. They held several exhibitions together and lived near each other in Ranelagh for many years. Campbell is unquestionably one of the best painters Ireland has produced in modern times. He died in Dublin on the 18th May 1979 and is buried at Laragh in Glendalough. (See Theo Snoddy, Dictionary of Irish Painters, 20th Century p. 49/50). I got to know Madge, George’s widow many years ago when she lived in Ranelagh before selling up and going to live with her sister outside Belfast. She was kind and generous and I always felt the passing of George, Arthur and others left her with an indelible mark of loss. After spending several contented years with her sister she passed away. These wonderful watercolours, drawings and oils have been entrusted to us to dispose of so that they can be seen and appreciated by a wider audience.

Third Party Liability Every person at or on the ‘Auctioneers’ premises or at any premises being used by the Auctioneer at any time shall be deemed to be there entirely at his/her own risk and shall have no claim whatsoever against the Auctioneers or their servants or agents in respect of any accident or incident which may occur nor any injury, damage or loss howsoever arising and whether or not same is the subject of any allegation of negligence. 3. General Whilst the Auctioneers make every effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the description of any lot: (a) Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lots or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. (b) Any claim under any Statute must be received in writing by the Auctioneers within three months of the sale. (c) The Auctioneers shall not be liable for consequential or resultant loss or damage whether sustained by a Vendor or a Purchaser or the owner of any item or their respective servants and agents arising in any circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any claim made by any party as to negligence or lack of care of the Auctioneers or any part acting on their behalf. (d) Lots marked with † are those which deVeres hold a financial interest in. 4. The Auction (a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or previous notice.
