Note:
Swanzy travelled widely in the early 20th century, working through various styles of Modern painting and becoming one of the first Irish artist to create abstract paintings. She exhibited alongside the other major figures in early Modern Irish painting and had a solo exhibition at the celebrated Galerie Bernheim Jeune in 1925 which drew praise from Gertrude Stein. Promoting her life and work was central to the ethos of Pyms Gallery and most recently she was subject to a major retrospective at the Irish Museum of Modern Art 'Mary Swanzy Voyages' in 2019.
