Paul Henry RHA (1877 - 1958) Cottages by Water (1934/39) Oil on canvas board, 35.5 x 40.5cm (14 x 16") Signed Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 'The Irish Sale', 21/05/99, lot 351. Literature: S.B. Kennedy, 'Paul Henry: with a Catalogue of the Paintings, Drawings, Illustrations', New Haven and London, Yale University Press, 2007, p.278, catalogue no.902. This painting may be of a scene of Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry, where Paul Henry holidayed in 1933 and 1934. After the domestic turmoil of the 1920s, which resulted in his separation from his first wife, Grace, in the 1930s his palette lightened, as did his mood. These qualities can be seen clearly in 'Cottages by Water' with its fluid use of paint, warm greens and a general feeling of contentment. The picture is dated c.1934-39 on stylistic grounds. For further information on Henry's Kerry paintings, see S.B. Kennedy, 'Paul Henry's Iveragh Paintings', in John Crowley and John Sheehan (eds.), 'The Iveragh Penninsula: A Cultural Atlas of the Ring of Kerry', Cork University Press, 2009, pp.441-4. DR. S.B.
