Single Element (c.1938) – Mainie Jellett
Celebrate the brilliance of Irish Modernism with this museum-quality reproduction of
Single Element (c.1938) by Mainie Jellett (1897–1944) — the pioneering artist who
introduced abstraction to Ireland and reshaped the nation’s visual culture.
This striking composition, built from layered greens, greys, blues and rhythmic geometric forms,
showcases Jellett’s mature Cubist language. In this period she achieved a unique synthesis of
analytical structure and spiritual symbolism — a harmonious “visual music” that sought to reveal
divine order through abstraction.
Exhibited at the Salon d’Automne in Paris (1938) among the students of her mentor Albert Gleizes,
Single Element stands as a testament to her confidence and evolving style. The artwork’s
provenance deepens its significance: originally belonging to the artist’s sister, Bay Jellett, it
later featured in the Mainie Jellett Retrospective (Dublin & Cork, 1962) and appeared at Adam’s
with Bonhams in 2007.
