An Abstract Composition dates from around 1926, the height of Jellett's pioneering abstract period. Arcs and planes of colour rotate around a central point, translated and multiplied according to the Cubist principles she had absorbed in Paris - a composition built on rhythm rather than representation.
Mainie Jellett (1897-1944) was a pioneer of Irish modernism. After studying in London and then in Paris under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes, she introduced Cubism and pure abstraction to Ireland, exhibited some of the first abstract paintings seen in the country, and helped found the Irish Exhibition of Living Art.
