Arcs of colour and rhythmic line rise and fall across a long, panoramic canvas — the swell of the sea, caught in the Cubist language Mainie Jellett brought home from Paris. One of her pioneering abstract works, it hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland.

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

A Composition - Sea Rhythm is by the Irish artist Mainie Jellett (1897–1944), who introduced cubism and pure abstraction to Ireland after training in Paris under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes. Arcs of colour rise and fall across a long horizontal field — the swell of the sea, resolved into rhythm. The National Gallery of Ireland records no date for it, so none is given here. The original is oil on canvas, 44 × 144 cm, and hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI.4318), bequeathed by Miss R. Kirkpatrick in 1978. It should not be confused with Sea Rhythm, a separate gouache of 1926 also in the gallery. This canvas print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.
