8 Gerard Dillon 1916-1971 CLOAK AND CUPBOARD Oil on board, 16" x 12" (40.6 x 30.5cm), signed, inscribed verso

Exhibited: Dawson Gallery, 1957

Provenance: From the collection of the late Séamus Kelly and thence by descent to the current owner In October 1957 Gerard Dillon exhibited thirty works at Leo Smith’s Dawson Street Gallery and this painting ‘Cloak and Cupboard’ was one of three paintings depicting domestic interior scenes from the artist’s flat in Abbey Road, London. The cupboard depicted in this composition was Dillon’s Séamus Kelly wardrobe and can be viewed in other paintings from this period, ‘Self- Contained Flat’ (Ulster Museum), ‘Girl in a Bedsitter with Cat’ (private collection) and ‘In the London Flat’ (private collection). James White stated these works by Dillon “represented something of the greater interest he was taking in the community life of 102 Abbey Road with his Belfast artist’s friends in residence and the constant flow of visitors with visual art and literary backgrounds.” (Gerard Dillon an illustrated Biography, pg.69). Born into a Nationalist family off the Falls Road in Belfast, Dillon returned to London after the War to live in his sister Molly’s house in the Borough of Camden. The basement flat had a separate entrance, which allowed friends to contact Dillon directly and he routinely divided his flat with furniture to create another ‘room’ for visiting guests. The female portrait, big brimmed hat and cloak hanging from the furniture probably relates to one of Dillon’s close circle of friends who attended Dillon’s weekly evening art classes in Shepherd’s Bush. In ‘Girl in a Bedsitter with Cat’, the cupboard and young dark-haired woman is depicted reading a book. In 1957 Belfast artist Noreen Rice (1934-2015) lived in the top floor flat in the house in Abbey Road. Rice was mentored by Dillon and both were known to paint together. Paintings behind the furniture and still life setting of this subject suggest a lesson may be in progress. The coffee grinder in this painting appears in another composition ‘Coffee Grinder and Pears’ in the exhibition at the Dawson gallery in 1957 (Cat No. 24). Alternatively, the dark cloak and sun hat may belong to someone visiting Dillon for the annual summer Royal Academy show. One writer who attended the 189th Royal Academy’s exhibition in May 1957 commented on Dillon’s painting and ladies fashion, “The summer hats were out – the big turned-back brim seems to have thoroughly replaced the more uniform flower pot.” (Irish Times 4.5.57). This work was in the collection of drama critic, Séamus Kelly (1912-1979). From Dillon’s notes, we know this painting was returned to the artist after the exhibition in 1957, so it is likely the artist sold it directly to his Belfast friend. In 1945 Kelly joined the Irish Times and was best known for his ‘Quidnunc’ column in ‘An Irishman’s Diary’ and regularly commented on Dillon’s exhibitions in his column until his death in 1979. In an era when journalists were still bohemian, Kelly’s social life revolved around Dillon and his Belfast friends George Campbell and Arthur Armstrong when they were living in Dublin in the late 1960s. Their quintessential Belfast humour and common interests of theatre, sport, literature and music allowed Kelly to form a strong bond of friendship with the group. Passionate about Spanish culture, Kelly visited the Campbells in Spain and was known to have debates with George Campbell on the subject of Flamenco guitars. A founder member of The Dublin Joyce Society, Kelly’s encyclopedic knowledge on Irish literature and theatre would have appealed to Dillon who was known to be a Joycean scholar. After Dillon died in 1971, Kelly lamented the loss of his friend and discussions on the visual arts, “One of the reason that I lamented Dillon’s absence was that his comments… would have been lively, humorous and well spiced with his own mischievous judgements on the principal performers.” (Quidnunc’ Irish Times, 7.1.73). An influential drama critic for more than three decades, Kelly’s funeral in 1979 was attended by the then Taoiseach Jack Lynch, the leader of the Fine Gael Party, Garrett FitzGerald, and actor Peter O’Toole as well as numerous colleagues in the media, playwrights, actors, musicians, writers and dancers.

9 Daniel O’Neill 1920-1974 THE BLACK ROCKS OF TYRELLA Oil on canvas, 20" x 30" (50.8 x 76.2cm), signed, inscribed verso

Exhibited: The Royal Hibernian Academy Dublin, 1957 No. 8 (£90)

Reviewing O’Neill’s solo exhibition in 1955 at Waddington’s Galleries, one critic praised O’Neill’s focus on landscapes. In the 1950s, O’Neill was living with his partner Sheilagh Deacon in Saul Co, Down and after the property was sold, they rented a cottage and studio from Major Corbett of Tyrella House. From the cottage in Corbett’s Field, O’Neill’s focus centered on harvest and beach scenes in the local area of Tyrella. This work, ‘The Black Rocks of Tyrella’ belongs to this period of work before O’Neill moved to London in 1958. A popular picnic destination, Tyrella beach sits at the foot of the Mountains of Mourne and its mature dunes and flat beach offers scenic walks and bathing for families. Today Tyrella House is an elegant Georgian Country Guest house and the beach is managed by Down District Council. Born in Belfast, O’Neill was the son of a Belfast electrician, Frank O’Neill. ‘Danny’ or ‘Dan’ as he was known to his friends was educated locally at St John’s public Elementary School, Colinward Street just off the Springfield Road in West Belfast. Having an early interest in art, he served his apprenticeship with a Belfast electrical contractor while attending a few art classes at the Belfast College of Art. From 1940-1945 O’Neill led a pattern of a ‘double existence’ of painting during the day and working on the night shift as an electrician until he met the Dublin dealer, Victor Waddington whose financial support allowed him to devote himself to being a full-time painter. Recalling his early attempts at painting, O’Neill stated “I suppose that all came out of the frustration of trying to paint at night after a hard day’s work.” (Irish Times,19.3.55.). From 1946, O’Neill held regular one man shows at Waddington Galleries and showed at the Irish Exhibition of Living Art, Royal Hibernian Academy and the Oireachtas annual exhibition in Dublin. O’Neill also contributed to group exhibitions in Waterford, Dundalk, Limerick and his work went on touring exhibitions in America, Amsterdam, Wales, Scotland and London. Characteristically from the mid 1950s O’Neill’s work contained mystery and drama with elements of surrealism. He didn’t follow fashion or trends and while he had strong friendships, he avoided social occasions preferring sketching excursions to capture a flash of lightening in stormy weather or painting dreamy landscape images of figures cast in shadows in his studio. Fascinated by the Italian Old Masters, O’Neill became adept at applying thin glazes to add subtlety, depth and nuance to his subjects. He also enjoyed experimenting with different means of applying paint which involved fingers, sponge, crumpled paper, confectioner’s icing bag, palette knife, camel and hog brushes. Here, the appearance of dramatic light in a darkening sky has disrupted a serene evening on Tyrella beach. In the foreground rays of golden sunshine cast soft shadows over rocks as pebbles sparkle near a turquoise pool of shallow water. A shift in the weather, however draws the viewer away from this surreal scene to the ghostly cottage cradled between two slabs of rock. O’Neill succeeds in holding our attention but the outcome remains a mystery.

His subject matter has remained linked to the past but his feeling for paint is vigorously contemporary. Rural Ireland, its traditions, music, sports and mythology create strong themes within his work.

In this painting, the figure playing the fiddle is said to represent the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother.

16 Paul Henry RHA RUA 1876-1958 1871-1956 GUBELLAUNAUN FROM THE ROCKS (ACHILL), 1911-1913 Oil on canvas, 15" x 17½" (38 x 44.5cm), signed Given the signature this must be early Paul Henry. As he stood on the rocks he thought of his future and where he wanted to be. “Achill spoke to me, it called to me as no other place ever had done”. And later he wrote, “The absence of hurry was one of the most endearing qualities of my new way of life”, he wrote in his autobiography, ‘An Irish Portrait’, (London, Batsford, 1951, pp. 50, 51). Before that he had lived in London, which he described with it’s wealth, hustle and bustle. This picture was almost certainly painted on Gubellaunaun as Henry looked over the rocks. The signature, with its dots in his name, confirms the date with accuracy, for Henry rarely, if ever, used this form of signature after 1913. The scene is mundane, except for where the sea breaks upon the rocks. “It was not Paul Henry’s ‘The Lookout’ difficult to make friends on the island because everyone was so kind and helpful. They just came into my life naturally and unexpectedly”, he continued in ‘An Irish Portrait’ (p. 62). ‘Gubellaunaun from the Rocks 1911-13’ is numbered 1334 in S. B. Kennedy’s on-going cataloguing of Paul Henry’s oeuvre.

17 Roderic O’Conor 1860-1940 NUDE SEATED ON A CHAISE LONGUE Oil on board, 24" x 19¾" (61 x 50cm), Atelier ‘O’CONOR’ stamp verso

Provenance: Private Collection, London

Roderic O’Conor’s fascination with the female nude began in earnest after he left Brittany for good in 1904 and moved to Paris. The spacious studio he rented at 102 rue du Cherche-midi in Montparnassse became the setting for countless explorations of this time-honoured subject. The present example, with sumptuous,reds, pink, oranges and yellows recreates something of the effect of a boudoir, the model being captured as if she is just about to rise from her couch in order to get dressed. The sense of immediacy is reinforced by the cropping of the figure’s feet and hair from the top and bottom edges of this picture, with the result that her position in space is very close to the plane of the picture. The intimate setting and unselfconscious pose of this nude relate it closely to other interiors dating from O’Conors intimiste period, 1905-11. Inspiration for this body of work was provided by the late nudes of Renoir (compare for example the latter’s ‘Bather Sitting on a Rock’ (Baigneuse) of 1892; private collection, Paris), as well as Pierre Bonnard’s radiant and seemingly unposed depictions of his wife. O’Conor sought, like Bonnard, to create unpretentious pictures of women in intimate settings, engaged in everyday activities such as reading, resting, arranging their hair or fastening a stocking. An early example of 1905 entitled Repos, showing a clothed model asleep, was bought from O’Conor by the famous Russsian collector of modern European art, Ivan Morosov, and is now in the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg. The features of the young woman seen here can be found in a number of O’Conor’s paintings from this period. He would normally start work by making rapid drawings of the model in a range of different poses – an approach that allowed him to establish an understanding of her movements and proportions. In ‘Nude’ seated on a chaise longue the model has been placed left of centre, seated on the edge of a divan (a favourite studio prop), with three Chinese vases located in the background to lend an air of cultured refinement. The model’s expression, as so often in O’Conor’s work, is contemplative and introspective, rather than overtly glamorous or sensual. The figure is lit by daylight entering the picture from the right, throwing the left side of her figure in shadow and thereby enhancing the illusion of rouned, three dimensional forms. By paving careful attention to the overall balance of the light and shade, O’Conor demonstrates his awareness of traditinal themes and approaches, simultaneously in this painting was one of his favourite colours, inevitably calling Renoir to mind once again. Whereas the seated nude on the front of this picture is a highley considered statement that must have demanded frequent sittings of the model over a prolonged period, reclining nude on the reverse is a spontaneous and vibrant sketch, painted in one sitting. The two contrasting treatments show how the extent to which O’Conor was prepare to adapt his approach, working rapidly alla prima in order to deseize a pose or light effect before it was lost for ever, while at the the same time producing pictures with a much higher degree of ‘finish’, perhaps with a exhibition in mind. Even in more developed works, however, the artist still liked to retain a degree of spontaneity: compare for example the bold patch of creamy paint on the seated nude’s left shoulder, with the incredibly delicate, feathered brushstrokes used in her right cheek and neck.

18 Jack Butler Yeats RHA 1871-1957 DOWNPATRICK HEAD, BALLYCASTLE, CO MAYO Watercolour, 13¼" x 9¾" (35 x 25cm), signed

Exhibited: 1910 Dublin (19); 1912 London (24)

Provenance: Dawson Gallery, Dublin (label verso)

Collection: Sold to John Burke 1945; Alexis Fitzgerald, Dublin; Private Collection Literature: ‘Yeats, Jack B., Life in the West of Ireland (1912, 1915)’ 103; No. 652 in ‘Jack B Yeats, His Watercolours, Drawings and Pastels’ by Hilary Pyle

J ack Yeats visited Ballycastle in county Mayo several times in his career. He greatly admired the spectacular beauty of the North Mayo coast and was equally intrigued by the life of its inhabitants. He travelled to the area with the writer J.M. Synge in 1905 when he made numerous sketches, several of which he referred to in later oil paintings and watercolours. Yeats returned to Ballycastle in the summer of 1909 when he painted this work and several other oil paintings and watercolours of Downpatrick Head and Ballycastle Bay. He also made a number of pastel paintings of the landscape near Ballycastle in 1915 (these may have been made from memories of the 1909 visit or possibly from a subsequent undocumented stay).

This watercolour differs from Yeats’s other paintings of Ballycastle in its dramatic inclusion of a horseman and the use of the framing device of a stone archway through which we can see the expansive view of the coastline. The architectural feature divides the composition into the natural sector behind it and the world of man and commerce in the foreground. Downpatrick Head, located just beside the town of Ballycastle, is an imposing headland that extends out into the Atlantic Ocean. Its rising profile can be seen on the horizon in this painting, at the centre of the composition (not evident in the work but well known to visitors is Dún Briste, the enormous sea stack that lies just beyond Downpatrick Head). Above the archway, the sill and bottom of a window appear incongruously. Their inclusion subtly offsets the impact of the distant headland, making the image a highly unconventional view of the landscape. The exotic looking male figure personifies the extreme beauty and geography of the region. His vivaciousness and that of his spirited horse offset the windswept tree and barren terrain behind them. The large hat and the deep archway cast the man’s long thin face in shadow. His sideward gaze suggests the exotic nature of his life amidst the desolate but spectacular surroundings of the West of Ireland, as well as his familiarity with it. Yeats’s admiration for the work is evident by the fact that he included a reproduction of it in his book, ‘Life in the West of Ireland’, (Maunsel Press, Dublin, 1912).

19 Patrick Scott HRHA 1921-2014 GOLD PAINTING Gold leaf & tempera on unprimed canvas, 32" x 32" (81.2 x 81.2cm), signed, inscribed & dated 1982 verso

Provenance: Private Collection, Dublin

â&#x201A;Ź10000 - 15000

Patrick Scott is exceptional in Irish cultural history for the range and quality if his work across the fields of art and design for well over half a century. He initially trained as an architect, and for 15 years worked with Michael Scott in that capacity. He greatly admired the Japanese flag, a red solar disc against a white ground, and what it exemplified: a pared down, Zen-influenced aesthetic of formal simplicity, naturalness and tranquility. There is one other important factor: the occasional asymmetrical interruption, to stir things up. After the circle, the square is the form he used most frequently. Often, symmetrical divisions and rhythmic patterns spring directly from these motifs. The square-on-circle technique recall the meditation technique of visualising a dark ground, a geometric shape of a different colour and a central form into which oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention is directed. 22

€4000 - 6000

Tyrrell’s paintings are anchored by geometric grids, his compositions characterised by an underlying block-like strength and sense of order. Spatially sophisticated, the artist creates taut spaces where your eye is pulled between action at the painting’s centre and what’s going on along its perimeter. However, the really intriguing aspect of his work is the way this controlled space is animated, the grid giving way to unexpected fluidity, spontaneity and drama. In C9.12, carefully orchestrated thin bands of colour along the perimeter seem to dance around the central core. The surface of the painting is richly layered, scratched and scored so that slivers of light glimmer against the dark ground.

27 Charles Tyrrell b.1950 A16.14 2014, oil on aluminium, 19¾" x 15¾" (50 x 40cm), signed & inscribed verso €2500 - 3500

Always interested in the allure of materials, Tyrrell uses aluminium to great effect in A16.14, with the paint applied and removed in flowing movements of a spatula. Engraved lines and a watery current flow through the rectangular grid, leaving us with a hint of nature interrupting man’s best laid plans. Although these paintings are abstract, one senses that the wild weather and rugged terrain of the Beara peninsula, where Tyrrell lives, has filtered into his paintings.

Provenance: Kevin Kavanagh (label verso)

“Copperwhite’s work focuses on how the human psyche processes information, and looks at the mechanisms of how we formulate what is real. With her work, she is fully aware that such realities may only hold validity for an instant, and that we are constantly processing and changing what we logically hold as experience and memory. Layering fragmented sources that range from personal memory to science, from media and internet to personal memory, Copperwhite’s canvases become worlds in which the real is unreal and this unreality is in a constant state of reforming.”

30 Hughie O’Donghue b.1953 BAIA IV Oil on canvas, 83" x 75" (212 x 195cm), signed & dated 2003; signed, inscribed & dated 2003 verso

Provenance: Private Collection, Northern Ireland

Baius, the pilot of Ulysses gives his name to Baia, a coastal town near Naples. It’s also a location visited by O’Donoghue’s father, a navigator in the British Expeditionary Force, during the Second World War and the inspiration for a series of monumental paintings made in 2003. O’Donoghue has often mined his father’s harrowing experience to create images whose multiple layers and surfaces attempt to describe the grand themes of identity, war and loss. In ‘Baia IV’ the human figure is wretched, half Christ like, seemingly shouldering the burden of military action, depicted in a photograph printed on gampi paper and melded between surfaces at the top of the painting. O’Donoghue’s trademark hues and partial glazing add a sense of confused haze to the battle weary figure, not his father alone, but all men. With these paintings, O’Donoghue represents both the experience of war for the individual participant and those who come after, through inherited memory.

33 William Scott CBE RA 1913-1989 BLACK & WHITE COFFEE POT (1955) Oil on Canvas, 16" x 20" (40.6 x 50.8cm), signed

Provenance: Hanover Gallery, London; acquired 1958 by Mrs. Stuart Krinsly

Literature: Sarah Whitfield, William Scott Catalogue Raisonne of Oil Paintings, vol. 4, p. 349 (appendix of untraced works), #A82 (not illustrated) As with the great Italian painter and printmaker Giorgio Morandi, William Scott’s treatment of still life lifts the genre to the monumental and architectonic. And as in the case of Morandi, still life was, unusually, the central focus of Scott’s artistic output. In his studies of basic kitchen objects – pots and pans, utensils and crockery, basic foodstuffs – the rituals and materials of everyday domesticity assume a heightened, even sacred character. His starkly simplified pictorial language and immensely tactile use of paint disengages the objects or, in this case object, from its familiar scale and function. While remaining absolutely true to the source of the image, Scott’s flattened, quasi-geometric treatment means that we could as easily be looking at something else entirely, such as a building or buildings of considerable size, a plaza rather than a kitchen. By 1955 Scott was well on the way to consolidating his mature pictorial style, and he was able to seamlessly absorb the influence of Egyptian and, later, Japanese art into his personal aesthetic as his sensibility became more developed and refined through the decades. Black and White Coffee Pot is exceptional in its purity of statement. There’s an honesty to the way the artist does not try to disguise the struggle involved in the process of drastically simplifying and editing the subject matter: we can trace his effort in the gestures captured in the incisive lines and blocks of pigment that constitute the picture surface.

It was the very first sculpture Rowan ever sold in Ireland. It shows his wife Hanne pregnant with their first child Alexander. Rowan explains that “It was a big cast for me at the time and I remember being delighted how well it came out. It shows us as gentle, loving but also fearful about our future, how we would cope with that new life we were about to bring into the world even although we had no money”.

41 Mark Francis b.1962 UNTITLED (2000) Oil on paper, 31Â˝" x 26" (80 x 65cm)

Provenance: Kerlin Gallery, Dublin (label verso)

Over the past thirty years, Mark Francis has made paintings of singular optical intensity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; powerful, apparently abstract combinations of concentrated patterning and stark colour contrasts that are in fact principally based on what the unaided human eye lacks the power to see. His work draws significantly on discoveries about the form and substance of reality that result from technologically enhanced vision. An enduring fascination, for instance, has been the visual worlds made accessible by the matter-penetrating gaze of electron microscopes: the dark, scattered, interconnecting orbs or the variously taut and slack lines of his paintings have drawn their strange forms from imagery of the miniature universe, the realm of molecular structure and cellular association out of which all life is assembled.

53 Tony O’Malley HRHA 1913-2003 AEOLUS AUTUMN (1994) Oil on canvas, 40" x 30" (101.6 x 76.2cm), signed, inscribed & dated 1994 verso, Opus No. 3248

Provenance: purchased from Taylor Galleries, Dublin

Tony O’Malley was never solely interested in depicting the way things looked. Paintings like ‘Aeolus Autumn’ try to convey the totality of the artist’s sensory experience, not just what he sees with his eyes. Yes, there is a suggestion of falling leaves in the rhythmic strokes that dance on the surface of the painting, but there is also the feeling of wind against the face, of the warmth of autumnal sun against the skin, of the sound of the breeze rustling though treetops. The title of this painting is revealing, as the mythological Aeolus had been referred to in both the Odyssey and the Aeneid as the ‘Keeper of the Winds’. Recreating this feeling of warm gusts of wind and connecting with the viewer’s own shared memories of a similar experience is the artist’s intention. O’Malley is also a master of abstract pictorial composition. Although he achieves an overall effect of spontaneity, of winds changing direction and whipping things up with random unpredictability, the artist remains in subtle control of the composition. The painting’s key feature the lively staccato movement of brushstrokes that flow across the surface. However, beneath this we can detect the diagonal flow of much larger shapes, dominated by a pale orange wedge that dips from the top of the picture into the centre. This ‘V’ shaped wedge is cleverly echoed by two much smaller ones. Perhaps the most satisfying element in this painting is the abstract visual ‘conversation’ between the large ‘V’ wedge and its tiny but domineering bright blue counterpart. Then, there is the dense earthy rectangle at the top. Impervious to the winds, it anchors the composition. Like in so many of his paintings, this one draws on O’Malley’s totality of experience, the seeing plus the feeling. He looks, feels, digests and then remembers a sensation, using this ‘inscape’ as the starting point for a visually satisfying abstract composition.

54 Charles Tyrrell b.1950 C6.07 Oil on canvas, 39½" x 39½" (100 x 100cm), signed & dated verso 2007 This painting’s carefully calculated symmetrical composition is pure abstraction, a search for visual ‘rightness’, a satisfying balance of all the visual elements. Tyrrell takes simple, inactive rectangles yet manages to bring the composition to life. C6.07 has a satisfying tension that comes from the artist’s use of oppositions: order/disorder, geometry/fluidity, hardness/softness, light/darkness, edge/centre. He also blurs the boundaries of pure abstraction. We get the sense that gusts of sea air from the Beara (where Tyrrell lives) have whipped up the surface. Solid blocks have opened up to become airy windows on a watery world.

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.

(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. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the Auctioneer’s discretion. (b) The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute had arisen.
