BARBARA WARREN RHA (1925 - 2017)
Est: €4,000 - €6,000
Title: The Artist's Daughter (1982 Medium: Oil on Board Signature: Signed Lower Left Provenance: Taylor Galleries, Dublin (Label Verso); Private Collection Exhibited: Barbara Warren Solo Exhibition, Taylor Galleries, Dublin, 1982 Framed Oil on board depicting the artist’s daughter Rachel, and probably set in Spain, this painting has a quiet meditative atmosphere. Rachel is depicted seated, her hands on her lap, on the ledge of a window or terrace. She is casually dressed in blue jeans and a jumper. Behind her a landscape is suggested by pale swirling forms of pale green and yellow. In the foreground, set an angle, is a white chair with a red cushion. A plant in a pot, and a rug are the only other objects depicted in this interior, the atmosphere of which is enhanced by the window forming a frame within a frame, with interior and exterior treated as one, and also by the minimalist depiction of Rachel’s features. Born in 1925, Barbara Warren attended the National College of Art, before moving to London where she studied at the Regent Street Polytechnic. She continued her studies in Paris, at the atelier of Andre Lhôte. Since then, she has painted mainly in Dublin, the West of Ireland and in Spain. A teacher for many years at NCAD, she is a regular exhibitor at the RHA, and has had many solo shows, including at the Taylor Galleries in Dublin. In 1999, Warren’s work was included in the Florence Biennale. A member of Aosdana, she has remained throughout her life a figurative artist, specialising in still-lifes, interior scenes and landscapes. However the apparent simplicity of her work belies the careful compositions, and avoidance of unnecessary detail. While Warren’s early paintings show the influence of studies in France, over the years she has evolved her own style, characterised by a sense of quiet and reflection. This is often enhanced by the inclusion of a figure—in this case her daughter Rachel. Dr. Peter Murray, November 2025 PICTURES AND PRINTS Thursday 11th December 2025 19:09:04

Est: €400 - €600
Title: Artist and Easel Medium: Charcoal on Paper Signature: Unsigned Provenance: Acquired from the Artist's Daughter; Private Collection Framed Description A striking study in line and form, Artist and Easel reveals Barbara Warren’s masterful command of draughtsmanship and spatial composition. Executed in charcoal on paper, the work captures a moment of artistic creation, where the figure of the painter is poised mid-motion in front of a canvas, tools in hand. The scene is constructed with rhythmic contours and dynamic structure, suggesting both physical energy and reflective stillness. The abstracted, modernist approach echoes Warren’s sensitivity to gesture and her focus on the artist's world. Though unsigned, the drawing is an evocative example of Warren’s exploration of the creative process, presented here in a refined contemporary frame.

Barbara Warren RHA (1925-2017) LIKE A DREAM
Est: €4,000 - €6,000
Barbara Warren RHA (1925-2017) LIKE A DREAM oil on canvas signed lower right; titled and with artist's address [Gray's Lane, Howth] on label on reverse h:20 w:30 in. Like a Dream is an outstanding example from Barbara Warren's oeuvre embodying all the elements one would associate with the very best of her artistic output. The palette is typically cool and muted with a characteristically flattened perspective. The composition is sophisticated with colour employed to both divide and bring together the various pictorial elements. The figures are expertly drawn, their subtle curves contrasting with the sharp lines of the dwellings behind them, and while the work feels distinctly Modern and European the feeling it inspires also sits comfortably within the traditional West of Ireland scene. Barbara Warren died at the age of 91 and her death marked the end of a living connection to a generation of pioneering Irish female artists among them Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone, May Guinness, Norah McGuinness and Elizabeth Rivers, who, like Warren, studied in Paris under the 'academician of Cubism' (1) André Lhote. Born in Dublin, Warren studied at NCAD (1947) having previously spent a period in Belfast playing her part in the war effort maintaining Lancaster bombers. She continued her studies in London at the Regent Street Polytechnic (1950) before travelling to Paris to study under Lhote. There she learned to build form through colour, a technique she developed and made her own over the course of her long career. Returning to Ireland she studied landscape painting in the west with Charles Lamb and set up a studio in Dublin with fellow artist Anne King-Harman. Solo exhibitions at the Dublin Painters and Dawson galleries followed and she also contributed to major group shows including the Irish Exhibition of Living Art and Irish Contemporary Art in Germany - 7 Artists. She won a Purser-Griffith travel scholarship in the history of European painting in 1955 and this afforded her the opportunity to travel - mostly on her own - through Spain, Italy and to Ibiza. She married fellow artist William Carron in 1961 and they settled in Howth. The birth of their daughter followed and during this period she contributed mainly to group exhibitions including the RHA shows, Oireachtas and Irish Painting, Hugh Lane, 1963. She returned to NCAD in a teaching capacity from 1973-1983 and held solo shows at the Dawson and later Taylor galleries until the 1990s. Warren won the James Kennedy Memorial Award for portraiture from the RHA in 1990, and a career achievement prize at the Florence Biennale in 1999. A retrospective of her work was held at the RHA in 2002/2003. Warren's work was exhibited most recently when it was included in 'It Took a Century: Women Artists and the RHA' at the National Gallery of Ireland in 2023. The address inscribed on the label on reverse records the artist’s address as Gray’s Lane, Howth. The present work must date to after 1961 when the artist moved to this address after her marriage to William Carron.
