Achill Horses (1941) - Mainie Jellett
Achill Horses (1941) is among the most loved images in the National Gallery of Ireland. Painted after Jellett's encounter with Chinese art in London, it sets the horses of the west of Ireland into a rhythmic, semi-abstract structure - Cubist order fused with the dynamism of natural form.
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.
