Mainie Jellett's Achill Horses (1941) as an archival print — horses, sea and Atlantic sky resolved into rhythm and colour, one of her best-known late works.
Held by the National Gallery of Ireland, it turns the landscape of Achill Island into ordered, expressive motion: repeated curves and fragmented forms carrying real movement, recognisably Irish and unmistakably modern.
Mainie Jellett (1897–1944), born in Dublin, pioneered abstract art in Ireland before developing the figurative, Cubist-influenced style — shaped in part by her interest in Chinese art — that produced this.
A green-and-blue statement above a sofa, sideboard or fireplace, and a striking gift for anyone who loves the west of Ireland.
