Abstract (1932) – Mainie Jellett Irish Canvas Print

Abstract (1932) is a fully non-representational composition from Jellett's most rigorously abstract period, its geometry of arcs and blocks of blue and related tones held together by the rhythm of line and shape.

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.

About this work

Abstract is by the Irish artist Mainie Jellett (1897–1944) and is dated 1932, from her most rigorously non-representational period. Arcs and blocks of blue and related tones are held together by the rhythm of line and shape alone, with no subject behind them. Jellett had shown the first abstract paintings seen in Ireland in 1923 and spent the following decade arguing for them in print and on public platforms. This canvas print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.
