ROADSIDE POOL, MAYO
Estimate:

Norah McGuinness HRHA, 1901-1980
ROADSIDE POOL, MAYO
Oil on canvas, 20" x 30" (50.7 x 76.2cm), signed.
Provenance: The Dawson Gallery, Dublin (label verso).
Encouraged by Evie Hone and Mainie Jellett to study in Paris between 1929 and 1931. Norah McGuinness absorbed Cubism but soon adapted it to her own decorative, semi-abstract style. Roadside Pool, Mayo has all the characteristics that we immediately identify with her work: the shallow flattened space of Cubism, an underlying geometry and a crisp formal order strengthened by her use of strong dark outlines.
