A harmony of soft blues, blush pinks and warm creams held in Jellett's cubist geometry. Works like this came out of her study with Albert Gleizes in Paris, where she learned to build a picture by translating and rotating forms through a set sequence rather than by improvising — which is why the result reads as quiet and ordered rather than expressive.

Mainie Jellett (1897-1944), born in Dublin, studied under William Orpen before training in Paris with Andre Lhote and Albert Gleizes. With Evie Hone she exhibited the first abstract paintings shown in Ireland in 1923, and went on to found the Irish Exhibition of Living Art. Her work hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland.

About this work

Abstract is by the Irish artist Mainie Jellett (1897–1944) and dates from around 1930. Soft blues, blush pinks and warm creams are held inside her cubist geometry — the picture built by translating and rotating a shape through a set sequence rather than improvised, which is why it reads as ordered rather than expressive. Jellett trained in London under Walter Sickert and then in Paris under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes. This print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.

Gleizes taught Jellett a procedure rather than a style: translate a shape, rotate it, repeat. Each of these is that procedure run again.
