71 RODERIC O'CONOR 1860-1940 Soleil en Foret, CIRCA 1902-07 typed exhibition label on reverse; also with "atelier O'Conor" stamp on reverse oil on canvas Provenance: Studio of the artist, Hotel Drouot, Paris, 7 February 1956: Private collection Exhibited: 'O'Conor', Musee de Pont-Aven, 30 June to 30 September 1984, catalogue no. 49, illustrated p. 46 Literature: Jonathan Benington, Roderic O'Conor, a Biography with a Catalogue of his Work, Irish Academic Press, Dublin 1992, no. 284, p. 224 A shaft of bright sunlight pierces the canopy of a group of tall, probably coniferous trees, reaching down as far as the lower sections of tree trunk and glancing across the forest floor. Here O'Conor consciously revisits the time-honoured theme of the sous-bois, favoured by the likes of Coubet, Diaz and Cezanne for its romantic associations: Nature captured at its wildest, exposed to the full force of the elements and far removed from the 'civilising' influence of Man. O'Conor treated the theme of the sous-bois for the first time in 1892 in one of his seminal 'striped' compositions. The Glade (acquired by New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1956). That work was devoted to a fairly tame and well-visited tract of woodland, the Bois d'Amour in Pont-Aven, in contrast to the taller and denser planting of trees seen in Soleil en Foret. There are also strong stylistic differences between the two works, bearing in mind that they are separated by a gap of at least ten years, in the course of which O'Conor abandoned the Van Goghinfluenced expressionism of the early 1890's in preference for a less stylised, more painterly approach. What both works do share, however, is a claustrophobic sense of being enclosed within the wood, reinforced by the dense foliage screening off the sky from the viewer's gaze. In Soleil en Foret the straightness of the tree trunks, uninterrupted by any lateral branches, is such that the artist has to utilise a low vanishing point in order to redirect the viewer's gaze earthwards again. At this juncture, O'Conor rewards us with a flurry of his most sensuous and painterly brushstrokes, blending ochre, vermilion and white so as to render the dazzling shaft of warm sunlight that traverses the foreground and middle ground of the composition. It is worth noting that landscapes of northern France are exceedingly rare in O'Conor's work after 1902. Their scarcity means that they can be very difficult to date. This example had previously been ascribed to the 1920's by the present writer(Benington. op. cit., p. 224). However, the thick creamy brushwork that is particularly evident in the highlights of the picture prompts comparison with works such as Girl Reading of 1907-08 (Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, Bradford), making an earlier dating a much more likely proposition. The focus on trees as a subject, especially the way dense foliage is penetrated and transformed by bright light, also suggests a link with O'Conor's series of landscapes devoted to the treelined banks of the River Loing, executed at Montigny on the edge of the Barbizon forest around 1902.
