Est: €20,000 - €30,000Evie Hone HRHA (1894-1955) Madonna and Child gouache on card mounted on canvas h:151.20 w:51 cm. Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 'Irish Sale' 18th May 2000 lot no 121; deVere's, Dublin, 13th June 2006 lot no 58; Private Collection One of Hone's largest Cubist compositions, this work sums up her dedication to both religious belief and Modernist art. In bringing together these two normally diverse strands, Hone achieved a synthesis of faith, one stretching back over millennia, the other based on belief in the role of abstract art in the modern world. Early in her career Hone had rejected Realism and figurative art as irrelevant to her vision. Along with fellow-student and friend Mainie Jellett, she devoted her life to promoting and pursuing the style, evolved by André Lhote and Albert Gleizes, known as Synthetic Cubism. The results, as seen in this work Madonna and Child, are impressive. The painting is characterised by colour harmonies and planes, assembled in an abstract composition of lines and circles, curves, rectangles and zig-zags. Dark at the edges, where bands of brown, red and mauve make up a frame, the colours brighten perceptibly as the eye is drawn towards the centre, until, encircling the head of the Child, can be seen a band of pure white. While it is clear from both title and composition that this work pays homage to the Renaissance altarpieces, such as those painted by Fra Angelico, depicting the Madonna and Child, there are very few visual cues or clues provided by Hone: her painting depicts no facial features, clothing, or recognisable hands or limbs. Nevertheless, the composition can be clearly read as a Madonna and Child, and is one of Hone's finest essays in paint. Peter Murray, March 2023

Est: €15,000 - €25,000Evie Hone HRHA (1894-1955) Cubist Composition gouache on card h:51 w:38.20 cm. Provenance: Estate of the artist; Taylor Galleries, Dublin where purchased in 1988; Whyte's, Dublin, 26th November 2007 lot no 70; Private Collection Literature: Donal uí Bhraonáin 'Paidreacha na Gaeilge, Prayers in Irish', 2008, illustrated in colour on the front cover. (A copy of this book accompanies this lot) A joyous essay in abstraction, Cubist Composition contains the essential elements that characterise Evie Hone's art, but on a lighter, more colourful, key. As with many of her paintings, the basis of the composition derives from depictions of the Madonna and Child by artists of the early Renaissance, notably Fra Angelico. The image of a mother and her child is translated by Hone into areas of flat colour, with all references to reality removed. The head of the Madonna is represented by pale yellow, while that of Jesus is symbolised by a penannular circlet, within a rectangle, within an oval area of yellow-green. While the left hand section of the painting has mainly areas of red, pink and mauve, the right hand side is composed of bands of green, ranging from sage to dark fir. In ancient times, colour played a fundamental role in religion, and even today mosques in the Middle East are illuminated with green light, symbolising transcendence. In Cubist Composition Hone sets out to re-discover and make new for the twentieth century, the spiritual effect and resonance of colour, and the devotional mood inspired by early Renaissance altarpieces. Her preference for gouache paint was inspired by the use of egg tempera on altarpieces and icons of medieval and Renaissance times. Peter Murray, March 2023

Est: €4,000 - €6,000Evie Hone, Irish, HRHA, (1894-1955) “Composition 1925,” gouache on paper, 40cms x 28cms (15 ¾” x 11”) Signed lower right ‘E. Hone 1925’. Bears Dawson Gallery label on verso inscribed ‘Composition 1925 by Evie Hone, No. 13 in exhibition 1957’ The title of this work, Composition, is apt, as a small section contains, or at least suggests, music notation. If music was an indeed an inspiration, this may be revealed also in passages, in this otherwise resolutely abstract work of art, where the side of a lyre is suggested, or the curve of a grand piano. However, the central concept that finds expression in Composition is a religious one. Within the abstract forms can be discerned the head of a Madonna leaning over a child, an key element of Renaissance art that Hone has sublimated within a finely coloured harmonious abstract composition. Along with her fellow-student and friend Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone is credited with introducing Modernist abstraction into mainstream Irish art. In 1920, she travelled to Paris, to study under the Modernist painter Andre Lhote. A few months later, she was joined by Jellett. Disenchanted with the liberal atmosphere in Lhote’s atelier in Rue Odessa, the two artists moved on the following year to study with the Cubist painter Albert Gleizes at his studio in Puteaux, a suburb of Paris. Well-connected politically, Gleizes had converted to Catholicism three years earlier, and his social idealism and intense devotion to religious subject matter in art was to the taste of the two young Irish artists. Although Gleizes did not as a rule take on students, he made an exception in the case of Jellett and Hone. In 1921 they began their studies, although it is clear, that they quickly began to influence Gleizes. Over the next decade, furthering their studies, they visited him one or twice a year, either in Paris or at the atelier he had found in the Ardèche. In the years following, in Ireland, while Jellett continued to produce Synthetic Cubist paintings that closely reflect Gleizes’ teachings, Hone took her exploration of Modernist art to a new level. In particular, in designs for stained glass windows for A Tur Gloine, she began to outline her figures with heavy black lines, echoing the work of Georges Rouault. However, while Rouault had, in addition to Christian themes, depicted courtrooms, circus clowns and bordellos, Hone’s piety is reflected in her unwavering subject matter of landscape and religious subject-matter. At a time when the teaching in the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin was resolutely controlled by Realist and Impressionist artists, as was the Royal Hibernian Academy, both Hone and Jellett introduced, what was for Ireland, a radical new vision in art. Provenance: Important Private Collection, West of Ireland.
