Lot 22
Paul Henry
COTTAGES ON THE WEST COAST OF IRELAND
Estimate:
€60,000 - €90,000
Paul Henry RHA 1876-1958
COTTAGES ON THE WEST COAST OF IRELAND
Oil on canvas laid on board, 14" x 16" (35.6 x 40.6cm), signed.
Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist c.1950; Clarke Gammon Walker Auction 2004; Emer Gallery, Belfast;
Whytes, Irish Art, Dublin 22nd February 2005, no.48.
Literature: 'Paul Henry: Paintings Drawings Illustrations' Yale University Press. New Haven and London, 2007, Cat 940.
This is a late work by Henry and may possibly have been done in the summer of 1945 when he and Mabel Young stayed at Waterville in County Kerry.
The scene has been set down briskly, although all the defining characteristics of Henry's output are present: the clarity of the colours, with little or no over painting that give the work a feeling of great spontaneity; the habitation in the middle distance; the dark strip of upland beyond which halts the eye's recession. The use of lines to mark the water's edge in the foreground can be found in some of Henry's early works, such as Incoming Tide, 1911-13.
