    • CLASSICAL LANDSCAPES AND SURREAL VISIONS AT ADAMS IRISH ART

    FROM the classical Irish landscapes of Paul Henry to the surreal visions of Colin Middleton the James Adam sale of Important Irish art in Dublin on December 4 covers vast tracts of artistic Irish ground. There are 177 lots.  The pain of emigration as felt by some many millions of Irish people is captured in Alfred Grey’s The Emigrants last Farewell and the consolations of the pub for those left behind by artists like Sean Keating, Jack B. Yeats and Harry Kernoff.  Louis le Brocquy’s Travellers, a tapestry from 1948, shows another aspect of Ireland and Tony O’Malley’s Irish Place, Callan, Co. Kilkenny opens our eyes to the country in another way.  The catalogue is online. Here is a small selection.
