Father Jack P. Hanlon, 1913-1968
STILL LIFE WITH VASE, JUG AND PICTURE
Oil on canvas, 18" x 21 1/2" (45.7 x 54.6cm), signed.
Provenance: Whytes, Irish Art, 21st Sept 2004, no. 49, catalogue note:
During the last decade of his life Hanlon returned occasionally to the style originally introduced to him by Mainie Jellett and Andre Lhote. His interpretation of Cubism at this time, was, however, a little different to theirs. Cubist Still Life with Vase, Jug and Picture is a tantalising work. At first glance it seems almost abstract - an eye-catching arrangement of brightly coloured shapes. On closer inspection certain objects begin to emerge - on the left a bulbous vase; towards the lower right a strange item with a handle, possibly a jug. Most surprising of all, at the upper right two human figures materialise within a frame! One figure appears to be helping to supporting the other. This may be a detail from one of Fr. Hanlon's own works or a quotation from a painting owned by him. Fr. Hanlon rarely painted completely abstract works. In his Cubist phase he depicted particular objects by the subtle use of curved lines, as is the case here. His great love for colour and shape is expressed by the juxtaposition of many varied tones enclosed within straight and diagonal lines. A work like this shows his willingness to experiment with different themes and styles and may also reveal his sense of humour.
