Rose Barton was born in 1865 from an Anglo-irish background. the family lived in Rochestown, co. tipperary. From this country upbringing, at the age of 18, Rose was brought to Dublin, where she did the usual round of parties and attending the great ball at Dublin castle, which was typical for a girl of her background. However this sort of life was not for Rose; in 1875 she travelled to Brussels with her mother and it was there that she started her first painting lessons. This was followed by visits to Geneva, London and Paris where Rose studied with the painter Henri Gervex. It appears it was Henri Gervex from whom Rose learnt her figure drawing.

It is difficult not to mention Rose’s great friend Mildred Butler, both women from similar backgrounds, both highly talented artists but one noticeable difference in their subject matter, Mildred living in the country painting her garden and surroundings, Rose’s subject matter being almost exclusively city street scenes in Dublin, London and paris. Rose exhibited in the Royal Academy from 1884 and was a frequent exhibiter at the old watercolour Society from 1893 continuing to exhibit works there for the next 30 years.

Rose Barton was undoubtedly one of the greatest watercolourists of her time. Her watercolours have huge charm: capturing the morning or evening light, her figures always so well placed and drawn and her distinctly watery, blobby effect combine so brilliantly to capture the moment.

oil on canvas, 24” x 16” (61 x 40.5cm), signed.

O’Kelly went to Paris from Dublin when he was twenty five, to further his studies as a painter. He moved on from paris to Brittany, where he found inspiration for many of his paintings. His subject matter included harbours, beach and market scenes, as well as numerous studies of Breton men and women in their traditional costume.

oil on linen canvas, 69” x 95” (175 x 241.5cm), signed, inscribed and dated 2002 verso.

provenance: the Rubicon Gallery, Dublin where acquired by the present owner.

Literature: painting, Memory, Myth by James Hamilton, published by Merrall page 32 (illustrated); irish Arts Review, Summer 2003 Volume 20 no. 2 (illustrated front cover).

the course of the diver series in 2002 was exhibited in purdy Hicks Gallery, London, as well as Gallery karl pfefferle, Munich. For the many admirers of o'Donoghue’s work “The Course of the Diver Series” showed the artist at the height of his powers.

in the catalogue entry to the purdy Hicks exhibition of o'Donoghue’s works entitled “Fiume” (2004) Sue Hubbard writes:

“In Course of the Diver I and II, 2002, the figure transmutes into a swimmer. Amid black waters set against a backdrop of deep ochres and oranges, smudged with patches of dirty yellow suggestive of the glare and sulphurous smoke of some distant battle field, the figure swims half-submerged so that we can only guess at whether he is drowning or struggling to reach the far shore.

it is these expressions of suffering, of struggle, of half-submerged memories that o’Donoghue weaves into his courageous paintings to form complex psychological maps. At once both gorgeous and lush – with their deep blues, ochres and oxblood reds, their dense blacks and their glazed surfaces – they are also, in the true Romantic sense of the word, awe inspiring. images rise to the surface like his divers slipping through dark water, like ghosts, like photographs finding form in developing solution”.

this work is part of a series of paintings that emerged during a turbulent time in Farrell’s marriage. the coat stand outside a room with an open door where a man’s overcoat carelessly hangs, in the doorway a strewn pair of shoes, in the centre a picture of mountains and a rushing river: all of these things are pointing to an “illicit affair”.

pRize pike

oil on canvas, 35½” x 24½” (90 x 62.5cm), signed & dated.

Brian Fallon writes, in his book irish Art 1880-1930, that Barrie cooke: “has shown himself to be an exceptional colourist, both in his lush landscapes and his many female nudes. cooke is fascinated by irish lakes and waterways (he is a dedicated fisherman), and his passion runs through his output, from the lyrical directness of his early pictures to the large, gestural, quasi-abstract work of recent years’. ‘Prize Pike’, painted in 1959, belongs to the early paintings and is one of his finest expressions of the lyrical directness and naturalism of his early work, the subdued colours expressing the truthfulness to nature that inspired him.”

He went on to succeed orpen as president of the RHA in 1945, inheriting the artist’s palette (pictured), which is not present in this painting. what is present is the black Fedora he wore in many of his self-portraits. His work can be found in many civic collections.

Apocryphal meetings between artistic personages recur in the work of Robert Ballagh and his friend Micheal Farrell. Ballagh, for example, had painted himself talking to Johannes Vermeer in the conversation and painted himself into an Albrecht Dürer in his Homage to Durer. prior to the opening of the commons Restaurant in the early 1990s, Michael Fitzgerald commissioned a number of artists, including Ballagh, Farrell, tony o’Malley and Louis le Brocquy to produce paintings to hang in the restaurant. they were given a theme: James Joyce and his masterpiece, ulysses.

the subject was right up Ballagh’s street in several respects. For one thing, he’d published an outstanding photographic book, Dublin, in 1981, that was not only a portrait of the city a la ulysses, but also addressed Joyce’s Dublin, with many references to and quotations from the writer. Several years on, in 1988, he made a painting, in the Heart of the Hibernian Metropolis, in which he depicts himself strolling with Joyce in o’connell St.

He drew directly on the this work for the commons commission, adopting the same technique of reproducing in paint the effect of a greatly enlarged vintage photograph. Rather than o’connell St, he depicts the buildings to the east of St Stephen’s Green, with Joyce himself sitting overlooking the scene, in company not with Ballagh but with the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte.

why Magritte? in his book of photographs, Ballagh wrote of Joyce: “…just as he transformed this Dublin into the world in microcosm, so too he charged the insignificant with significance. This ability to see something special in the simplest of things has also been my goal…” in his paintings, Magritte invests the language of everyday vision with significance, making us think about perception completely anew, just as Joyce did via the written word. in Ballagh’s painting, Magritte extends an orb – “the world in microcosm” - as a gift to the writer.

Mcwilliam was born in Banbridge, co. Down and went on to become ireland’s foremost surrealist sculptor. He worked mainly in stone, wood and bronze. He studied at the Slade School of Art and his determination to become part of the international art scene brought him to London and paris during the 1930s. He exhibited at the British Surrealists exhibition in 1938 alongside Salvador Dali – who launched the exhibition with a lecture delivered while wearing a deep-sea diving suit. His style took much from Brancusi, Giacometti and Rodin. He was also a devotee of picasso and Dali, who broke with the traditions of classical sculpture to produce fragmented forms in bronze and metal.

in Awe

Bronze, 44” high (112cm), ed. 6/9

provenance: Acquired at the Rowan Gillespie exhibition at clonlea, held by the Solomon Gallery

Rowan Gillespie was born in Dublin in 1953. His early years were spent in cyprus, ‘the island of copper’ and it is here that Rowan was first introduced to the ‘lost wax’ process of bronze casting of which he has since become a master. After civil war broke out in cyprus his family moved to england and in 1968 he attended the York School of Art. in 1970 he applied to the kingston college of Art in London and it is here where he met and was inspired by Henry Moore. He spent a year in oslo before completing his degree in kingston.

Rowan came to ireland with his wife and children and settled at clonlea in Blackrock where he was able to build his own studio, workshop and foundry.

Rowan is almost unique among the bronze casting fraternity in that he works completely alone from inception to unveiling. early commissions from the Bank of ireland led to major international projects but perhaps his best known work is the award winning Famine Sculpture that runs along the Liffey at the custom House (See biography by Roger kohn 2009).

Rowan has had a long association with Suzanne McDougald of the Solomon Gallery and his reputation has grown over the years to a point where he is perhaps ireland’s most acclaimed artist of the present day.

54 Louis Le brocquy HrHa b.1916

cHeRuB (1953)

Aubusson tapestry, 43½” x 52½” (110 x 133.5cm), signed label verso.

Louis le Brocquy is perhaps best known for those works in which he engages in an internal exploration of his subject, probing the interior life of mind and body. not surprisingly, the subtle colours and images he employs on such occasions tend to be appropriately muted. His tapestries, however, are drawn from the richer le Brocquy palette, associated with his depictions of the external world in his landscapes and still lives using the direct methods advocated by his friend and mentor, Jean Lurçat (1892-1966). Le Brocquy’s celebrated tapestries from the 1950s were woven in Aubusson by the preeminent lassier of the day, tabard Frères & Soeurs.

in 1948, edinburgh tapestry weavers, an ancient industry under the patronage of the then Marquis of Bute, , invited a number of painters, working in London, to design tapestries. the artists included Stanley Spencer, Jankel Adler, Graham Sutherland and Louis le Brocquy, who later continued his work in this medium in collaboration with the Tabard workshop at Aubusson in France. His first tapestry, Travellers, was produced in 1948.

in 1951, Mrs S.H Stead-ellis, whose art collection already included leBrocquy tapestries, commissioned three related tapestries, adaptable as screen, rug and fire screen, on the theme of the Garden of Eden, (The Eden Series) namely, “Adam & Eve in the Garden”, “Eden” and “Cherub”.

portuguese Limestone, 21” high (53.5cm), signed.

imogen Stuart was born in Berlin in 1927. She went to school in Germany, but following the outbreak of war she was evacuated and moved to Vienna and Bavaria. She first came to ireland in 1949 on an exchange and settled here permanently in 1951, following her marriage to irishman ian Stuart, the grandson of Maud Gonne.

“i originally designed this piece in the 1990s, carved in wood. it is based on a series i call ‘zyklus’, which is a German word for ‘cycle’. i have made four in this series, all in this size and all of a Mother and child. the difference between them is the position of the young child. in this one it clings to the mother, in a tender embrace.

This is carved in a Portuguese limestone and I have never in my life felt a finer stone, it feels like marble, so smooth and pure. i have the most wonderful stone carver, phil o’neill who carves the piece for me, under my guidance of course.”

IMOGEN STUART, in conversation with Rory Guthrie

niccoLo D’arDia caraccioLo rHa (1941-1989)

the following 19 works come from the family of the artist.

caracciolo was a landscape and portrait painter. He studied art in Florence, where he continued to live for most of his life, travelling between italy and his home in Moate, co westmeath. He held numerous exhibitions in ireland, italy, London and America, as well as being a full member of the RHA. His last show was at the Solomon Gallery, Dublin, in 1989, a month before his tragic car accident in tuscany, near Siena.

His skill in draughtsmanship, which is so evident in the portrait studies offered here, is equally complemented by the soft warm tones of his italian and irish landscapes. these works are offered by his family, by descent.
