ARTIST'S MODEL, PARIS, 1930 Ronald Ossory Dunlop RA RBA NEAC (1894-1973)
Signature: signed, inscribed and dated on reverse Medium: gouache on paper Dimensions: 34 by 48cm., 13.5 by 19in. Provenance: McKee collection This loose flowing painting embodies a description of the artist's philosophy. He wrote how his early influences were his artistic and quite notable family and in particular his mother. She would ask ... "how dare you be so conceited as to try and imitate nature in colour and shape" and encouraged him rather to "interpret nature", as he has done here. This painting shows a confidence with paint which conveys the scene better than any precise realist approach. An accomplished work, it shows what he was capable of when freed from commercial constraints. The delicacy of touch and pastel colours fill the scene with a spring-like quality or airiness and light. R. O. Dunlop's father was a great friend of both AE (George Russell) and W. B. Yeats, and was involved with both of them in creating the magazine The Irish Theosophist, which was printed in the artist's grandfather's house. James Stephens was another frequent visitor and the family were at the centre of the Irish literary revival more
