Lot 10
Harry Kernoff
BANDSTAND, THE HOLLOW, PHOENIX PARK 1926
Estimate:
€5,000 - €7,000
Harry Kernoff RHA, 1900-1974
BANDSTAND, THE HOLLOW, PHOENIX PARK 1926
Oil on board, 12" x 15 1/2" (30 x 40cm), signed; signed and inscribed verso 'The Hollow, Phoenix Park, Irish Free State Band, 1926, H. A. Kernoff, 13 Stamer St.'
Provenance: Collection of Thomas Teevan, Attorney General of Ireland, 1953-54.
Perhaps the foremost visual chronicler of everyday life in Ireland in the twentieth century, like his English counterpart L. S. Lowry, Kernoff recorded the men, women and children of Dublin as they went about their daily routines, walking in parks, or by the canal, or heading out to the beach. However, unlike Lowry, Kernoff preferred to depict sunny days, with red-brick terraces, brightly coloured shopfronts and well-dressed people out and about, enjoying the sunshine.
Paintings such as 'The Bandstand', where the viewer can make out the silhouette of the artist on the tree trunk, and 'Lunch in the Garden' reveal Kernoffs sympathies with the working people of Dublin.
