Lot 220

Description

Daniel O'Neill, 
Irish 1920-1974 - 

Down and Outs; 

oil on board, signed upper left 'D O'Neill', 65.5 x 86.8 cm (ARR)

Provenance:
Christie's London, The Irish Art Sale, 10th May 2007, lot 126 (unsold);
private collection, UK 

Note: 
Bright, vivid colours identify this work as one created later in his career. The distorted faces of figures, whose eyes are reduced to sunken hollows, is an exaggeration of the darkened eyes in his portrait ‘Jeanie’ (1954). In the middle ground a figure stands with his arms outstretched, evoking powerful biblical images of the crucifixion. In the foreground, a figure adorned with a deep blue neckline of her dress is subtly suggested to be the Virgin Mary as such. 

O’Neill became a full-time painter in 1945, having previously worked as an electrician on Belfast shipyard, and visited Paris in 1949. Here he was influenced by Maurice Vlaminck, Georges Roualt and Maurice Utrillo. In the following decade he moved to Conlig, Country Down, where a small group of artists had formed. These included George Campbell and Gerard Dillon. Some of his works were exhibited at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2005 as part of an exhibit on Northern Irish Artists.
