During the year Sir Alfred Chester Beatty resigned, and the Government appointed Mr. John Hunt to be an Ordinary Member of the Council in his place. Nine meetings of the Council were held during the year, and the main activities were as follows: THE VISUAL ARTS—Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Design, Applied Arts (a) An Chomhairle Ealaíon Collection Eighteen paintings by living Irish artists were purchased for the Council's collection, bringing the number in the collection to twenty-three. The paintings are housed in the Council's premises, and when an adequate and representative collection has been built up, it is proposed to send them on tour and possibly exhibit them abroad. The German Arts Council has already manifested an interest in arranging a tour of the collection in the German Federal Republic. (b) Scheme/or Purchase of Works of Art and their sale at half-price The Scheme, initiated in the financial year 1960-1961, was extended, and the Council now undertakes to pay half the price of any works of art by Irish artists purchased by hotels. State-sponsored bodies, local authorities, the Institute of Public Administration, public galleries, and by or for schools, for display in parts of their premises ordinarily frequented by the public provided the Council have selected those works of art as suitable for the purposes of the Scheme. It is a condition that if a purchaser who has availed himself of the Scheme, subsequently sells any of the works of art he has purchased, he must refund to the Council the amount of the Council's contribution; and it is a further condition that works of art purchased under the Scheme must not be sold at less than the original price. Sixty-three paintings •were purchased by the Council during the year for the purposes of the Scheme, and of these thirty were sold by the Council to State-sponsored bodies and hotels at half-price. In addition, seven paintings purchased by the Council in the previous year were similarly sold under the Scheme. (c) The New York Irish Institute Fund This fund, administered by An Chomhairle Ealaíon, is used for the annual purchase of a work or works by Irish artists for transmission to the Irish Institute Incorporated, New York, and derives from monies donated to the Council in 1960 for the promotion of painting and sculpture in Ireland. The Irish Institute, if it succeeds in re-selling works of art purchased for it by the Council, transmits the money so obtained to the Council for further purchases. In this way the Council received from New York during the year a sum of money obtained by the re-sale of the painting Flight, by Elizabeth Rivers. During the year the Council purchased Aran, by Maurice McGonigal, P.R.H.A., and The Spire, by Séamus Ó Colmáin, and despatched them to the Irish Institute. (d) Duais-Chiste an Uachtaráin de hÍde The fund instituted by the late Dr. Dubhglas de hÍde, Uachtarán na hÉireann, for the annual award of the gold medal "Duais-Bhonn an Uachtaráin de hÍde," is administered by An Chomhairle Ealaíon. The award is made for the best painting of an Irish historical subject shown at the art exhibition sponsored annually in Dublin by An tOireachtas, provided that the Council are satisfied that an adequate standard has been attained. For some years the Council withheld the award, deeming the standard of the historical paintings on exhibition to be too low. In order to stimulate further interest in competition for the medal, the Council give an additional monetary prize of £50 from their own funds to the artist whose painting is considered most worthy of the award. In the year 1962-1963 the gold medal and monetary prize were awarded to Rev. Father Jack Hanlon in respect of his painting Séipéal Chormaic. (e) Exhibition of Irish Section of Venice Biennale In November-December, 1962, the Council sponsored the exhibition in the Dublin Municipal Gallery of the twenty-two paintings by Jack B.

  • Analysing Cubism
    Mary Swanzy, Le Village, c. 1920s Analysing Cubism 20 February – 19 May 2013 IMMA, New Galleries, Royal Hospital, Kilmainham Including artists, Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone, Mary Swanzy, Norah McGuinness, Andre Lhote, Albert Gleizes, Juan Gris and Pablo Picasso EXHIBITION NOTES FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS (Words highlighted in yellow are included in Glossary at end) General Information The term ‘Analytic Cubism’ has been used to describe work made by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1909 and 1912 and includes iconic paintings such as Picasso’s Ma Jolie (1911-1912) from the collection of MoMA in New York. The exhibition Analysing Cubism takes as its point of origin the principles of early or Analytic Cubism and outlines the various directions taken by different artists, though with a focus on Irish artists Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone. Rather than taking one position on Cubism, the exhibition presents several different viewpoints on the subject which are one-sided and even conflicting. Analysing Cubism does not propose that the notion of Cubism is contested; rather, it points out that many different scholars and artists have taken the principles of Cubism and translated them in different ways. The model of the exhibition fits with wider programming ideas at IMMA and the Crawford Art Gallery. It also signals ways in which Cubism and cubist artists remain relevant to many contemporary artists. Analysing Cubism will shift the focus away from Picasso and Braque (who quickly abandoned this form of abstraction) to identify the centrality of Albert Gleizes in the development of the movement. Gleizes was the teacher of Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone.

  • Mainie JELLETT (Dublin 1897 - Dublin 1944)
    Mainie JELLETT (Dublin 1897 - Dublin 1944) Waterfall Pencil and gouache on buff paper, laid down on board. Signed M. Jellett in pencil at the lower left. 302 x 191 mm. (11 7/8 x 7 1/2 in.) This gouache drawing can likely be dated to the second half of the 1930s, and may be grouped with a number of works of this period which study the effects of flowing water. In 1935 Mainie Jellett visited an exhibition of Chinese art at the Royal Academy in London, and came away greatly inspired by the Chinese tradition of landscape painting: ‘It was a way of portraying the landscape in a semi-abstract manner...Chinese art contained elements of interest to her, especially the emphasis on pattern and rhythm developed from the forms of nature.’ As the artist herself later recalled of the Chinese Art exhibition, ‘This made a profound impression upon me and helped to form an approach to landscape painting, which I have used in varied forms ever since.’ Comparable gouache drawings on paper by Jellett include a Waterfall and two studies of Waves, all in private collections. Provenance: Bart O’Connor Thence by descent. Artist description: A leading figure in 20th century Irish art, Mary Harriet (known from childhood as Mainie) Jellett was born into a Protestant, Anglo-Irish family in Dublin in 1897. She studied at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, where she trained with William Orpen, and later at Westminster School in London, were she came under the tutelage and influence of Walter Sickert, and where she met her close friend Evie Hone.

She studied graphic design and painting at the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin, from 1921 to 1924. In her final year there, she first exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin. It was after this that she decided to concentrate on painting rather than on book illustration, although the latter remained a source of income throughout her career. Having moved to London, she spent some months during 1924 studying art at the Chelsea Polytechnic. She also received her first important graphic design commission, to produce the illustrations for an edition of Laurence Sterne's A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy which was published in 1925. In the same year she married Geoffrey Phibbs, a librarian from Wicklow, who wrote poetry under the name Geoffrey Taylor.
