Artist: Paul Henry RHA (1876-1958) Title: Cottages, Connemara (1928-35) Signature: signed 'PAUL HENRY' lower right Medium: oil on canvas Size: 41 x 51cm (16 x 20in) Provenance: Collection of Solly Lipsitz, Belfast; James Adams, Dublin, 8 July 1982, lot 68 reproduced; Private Collection Exhibited: Pictures by Paul Henry The Studio, Merrion Row, Dublin, August 1928 Literature: S. B. Kennedy, Paul Henry with a catalogue of the Paintings, Drawings, Illustrations, Yale University Press, New Haven & London, 2007, p. 242, catalogue number 703 More info: Click to read more about this lot When Paul Henry first went to Achill Island, in 1910, it was the people of the island and their way of life that most interested him. Only from about 1915 did his interests turn to the landscape itself. While this scene cannot be identified with certainty, it may represent the area known as Maam, which lies at the extreme north-western tip of Lough Corrib in County Galway (cf. The Muinterone at Maam, Kennedy, 2007, cat. no. 692). The mountains must therefore be the southern hills of the Maumturks, with Leckavera Mountain dominating the middle distance. Henry often painted in this part of Connemara. Masterly use has been made of the watery inlet in the foreground (cf. Kinsale, Kennedy, 2007, cat. no. 994). Dated 1928-35 on stylistic grounds.
