Lot 21
Paul Henry
CONNEMARA COTTAGES
Estimate:
€120,000 - €160,000
Paul Henry RHA, 1876-1958
CONNEMARA COTTAGES
Oil on canvas, 15" x 18" (38 x 45.5cm), signed.
Provenance: Adams, Important Irish Art, 28th May 2008, Cat No.83; Private Collection, Dublin.
Literature: 'Paul Henry: Paintings Drawings Illustrations', by Dr. S. B. Kennedy, Cat No. 1227.
Painted in the period 1932-1935, when the artist's palette, very much like his mood, lightened as his domestic problems, the final separation from his first wife, grace and financial difficulties, were overcome and he was an artist at peace.
This landscape show Henry at this most impressionistic. The bold downward impasto strokes that render the reflections on the lake and through the reeds, lifting the eye up over the cottage to the trademark clouds, are indicative of an artist by now completely at ease with both his subject and medium.
