Read more Mainie Jellett Lot 32 - 'Composition (1922)' Estimate: €30,000 - €50,000 An early abstract painting by Mainie Jellett, this work reveals the artist's interest in combining elements of Christian iconography with the Synthetic Cubism she had studied with Albert Gleizes in France. The composition is essentially a series of overlaid flat areas of colour, characterised by bold rectilinear and curved outlines, and heightened by dot and stipple patterns. Although simply entitled Composition, the painting is based on images of the Madonna and Child by Fra Angelico and other Renaissance artists and also contains echoes of patterns used in tailoring. The colour range is muted, ranging from greys and ochres to light brown, with an oval of bright red indicating the head of the Madonna. This combining of Modernism with traditional Christian iconography is characteristic of the work of Mary Harriett "Mainie" Jellett. Born into a wealthy Anglo-Irish family in Dublin, she initially studied watercolour painting with Elizabeth Yeats, before enrolling in the Metropolitan School of Art in 1914, where she was a pupil of William Orpen Moving on to London, Jellett attended the Westminster Art School, where Walter Sickert was her tutor, and where she met another art student from Dublin, Evie Hone who became her life-long friend. Returning to Dublin, in 1920 Jellett won the Taylor Scholarship and the following year she travelled with Evie Hone to Paris, where they studied firstly with André Lhote then Albert Gleizes During this period Jellett transitioned from being a representational painter to an ardent advocate of Synthetic Cubism. Back in Ireland, at the Society of Dublin Painters in 1923, she showed what were probably the first abstract paintings to be seen in Ireland. Despite criticism, she persevered with Cubism and within a few years came to be seen as a leading Modernist painter. Her art incorporates an element of religious or devotional feeling, and she often based paintings on the works of Renaissance artists such as Fra Angelico as well as incorporating motifs from Celtic art. Jellett was also influenced by Chinese Art, as seen in her Achill Horses, exhibited at the New York World Fair in 1939. Her achievement was substantial; in suborning abstraction to serve as a vehicle for spiritual and devotional aspirations, she managed to achieve wide acceptance as a painter in a society that valued primarily representational art. In 1943, a year before her death, Jellett became the first chairman of the Irish Exhibition of Living Art. Pet
