Alicia Boyle (1908-1996) Bishops Gate, Derry, The Arch Bar and Pets Corner Oil on canvas, 60 x 50cm (23½ x 19½'') Signed with initials; also signed versoAlicia Boyle was born in Bangkok in 1908 to Irish parents. Shortly afterwards, the family returned to Ireland and settled in Derry, where Boyle spent the first decade of her life. At the age of ten, Boyle moved to London and it was here that she gleaned her artistic education, first at the Clapham School of Art and then, from 1929-34, at the Byam Shaw School of Drawing and Painting.Whilst still a student, Boyle won her first acceptance into the Royal Academy with a painting in 1932 and her skill later saw her being awarded a residency in Greece. She spent many years moving between countries, making frequent visits back to Ireland, before eventually relocating there permanently in 1971.Ever since she was a young child, Boyle was fascinated by natural patterns and this was the underlying rhythm to her work. In ‘Bishop’s Gate’, Boyle’s carefully executed brushstrokes generate the pattern of the brick, the layered paints playing with light as it simultaneously falls into crevices and glides across smoother surfaces. This beautiful patchwork is replicated on the slick pavement, wet with recent rain. The gloom of the grey chequered sky, just visible between a gap in the buildings is contrasted against the reflective light of the foreground. We are drawn inwards, moving from light to dark, until we are surrounded by the cityscape. Our feet dampen and we pull our coats tight around us, fearful of more rain to come.Through her understanding of colour and light, Boyle is able to expertly recreate a damp day in Derry. Her unique perspective affords a beauty to this man-made scene that would otherwise have been absent. We are forced to stop for a moment as we are invited to enjoy the rain, before darting onwards and resuming our search for shelter.

Jack Butler Yeats RHA (1871 - 1957)Crossing the Canal Bridge, from the Tram Top (1927)Oil on panel, 23 x 35.5cm (9 x 14")SignedProvenance: Sold by the artist to Leo Smith, 1944; The Dawson Gallery, Dublin; Ex Collection Peter Ledbetter; Auction Taylor DeVere's, where purchased; Ex Collection Patrick & Antoinette Murphy; Private Collection, DublinExhibited: Engineer's Hall, 'Paintings', Dublin February/March 1927, Catalogue No.18; Alpine Club Gallery, 'Paintings', London June/July 1930, Catalogue No.14; National Gallery of Ireland, 'Shaping Ireland: Landscapes in Irish Art', Dublin April-July 2019.Literature: Hilary Pyle, 'Jack B. Yeats, A Catalogue Raisonne of the Oil Paintings', London 1992, Catalogue No.326; Patrick J. Murphy, 'A Passion for Collecting: A Memoir', 2012, illustrated in colour; NGI, Donal Maguire Ed., 'Shaping Ireland: Landscapes in Irish Art', 2019, illustrated p.104This very unusual painting depicts a view from the top of a double-decker tram as it crosses the Grand Canal at Portobello. The no 15 tram ran from Nelsons Pillar via Rathmines to Terenure. The window gives a view onto the canal looking east towards Charlemont Bridge. It is night-time and the brightly lit interior of the tram and its window frame contrasts with the gloom of the outside world. The former is painted in dazzling orange and red paint, lending it a tactile appearance. The bizarre angle of the window suggests that the tram has just crossed the apex of the bridge. Beyond its confines the city appears both calm and mysterious. The sky is an intense deep blue, a colour that is enhanced by its proximity to the orange of the window frame. The regular line of the canal with its green banks, outline of trees and the flowing cascade of water evoke the regularity of the cityscape in that part of Dublin. Touches of white and yellow light indicate nocturnal activity. To the right the shadowy forms of pedestrians hurry along the street. Yeats painted several views from trams or trains, clearly enjoying the sense of distance and remove that such transport provided. He used the train and tram network extensively when he first moved back to Ireland in 1910, when he commuted regularly from Greystones to Dublin by rail. In the 1920s when he lived in Donnybrook and from 1929 Fitzwilliam Square, the subject became much more frequent in his oeuvre. One work, From the Tram Top, also painted in 1927, includes a self-portrait of the artist. The 1924 painting, The Canal from the Train, uses a similarly angled window to frame a prospect of the canal and its banks in sunlight. The intensity of the colours and the richness of the paint surface in Crossing the Canal Bridge along with the imposition of the framing device onto the landscape, makes this a deeply expressionist work that transforms a familiar location into an evocative unfamiliar spectacle. But, as always with Yeats, the physical construction of the painting remains paramount. Róisín KennedyCondition Report:

Strangeways Prison, located in Manchester, England, holds a significant place in the annals of British penal history. Originally constructed in 1868, it stands as one of the most imposing Victorian-era prisons in the country. Its iconic neo-Gothic architecture has become synonymous with the cityscape. Throughout its history, Strangeways has witnessed numerous reforms and controversies. Notably, the 1990 Strangeways Prison riot, one of the longest and most violent in British penal history, brought attention to issues of overcrowding and poor conditions within the prison system. Despite its tumultuous past, Strangeways continues to operate as a high-security facility, housing a mix of inmates serving various sentences. Efforts have been made to modernize the institution, improving living conditions and implementing programs aimed at rehabilitation. Today, Strangeways Prison stands not only as a physical landmark but also as a symbol of the ongoing challenges and reforms within the British prison system.

* JOHN CUNNINGHAM RGI D LITT (SCOTTISH 1926 - 1998), GLASGOW CITYSCAPE oil on canvas, signed framed image size 81cm x 128cm, overall size 98cm x 143cm Note: The artist's long obituary in The Glasgow Herald in 1998 began "Dr John Cunningham's death at the age of 72 robs Glasgow of one of its most endearing, well-known and colourful art-world stalwarts". Born in Lanarkshire in 1926, Cunningham attended Glasgow School of Art (GSA) in 1953. From 1967 to 1985, he was a Senior Lecturer at GSA, thus having close contact with several generations of young painters for two decades. John lived in a magnificent and spacious studio flat in the centre of Glasgow which was designed by Sir John Burnett expressly for the use of an artist, and which had previously been owned by other artists including John McGhie and David Gauld. The vision of his paintings was an expression of the man. John Cunningham was a large, charismatic character who loved life abundantly and whose paintings reflected his joy and passion for vibrant colour and contrast, displaying bold, confident brush-strokes along with subtle sensitivity. This gives his work a wonderful freshness and vitality with the immediacy of the moment captured. In 1980 he was elected to the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (RGI) and in 1990 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Strathclyde. He received numerous prestigious awards during his long career. He exhibited throughout the UK also in New York and Hong Kong, and his work is in many public (including Glasgow Galleries & Museums and The Hunterian), corporate and private collections.In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 28th March 2024, lot 32, "Sanna Bay, Ardnamurchan" , a 66 x 111cm oil on canvas (by Cunningham) sold for £13000 (hammer).

* FRED YATES (BRITISH 1922 - 2008), SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND oil on canvas, signed, titled label versomounted, framed and under glass image size 46cm x 55cm, overall size 64cm x 72cm Label verso: J M LondonProvenance: The artists estate Note: Fred Yates was a self-taught British artist, known for his plein-air paintings of the English landscape. Influenced by so-called naïve art and the work of L S Lowry, Yates' work incorporated bold colours, loose brushwork, and child-like abstractions. Often, he layered paint on top of the canvas to create a thick, textured surface, giving his paintings a sculptural quality. Born on July 25, 1922 in Urmston, England, Yates fought in the Second World War alongside his twin brother, who was killed at the Battle of Arnheim. After the war, he began painting the Manchester cityscape in his free time and became well known in the local art scene, working alongside painter Lowry. Yates moved to Cornwall in 1968, where he began painting rocky beach landscapes and scenes of village life. He gained national attention after presenting his work at the 1985 exhibition “St Ives 1939– 64” at the Tate Gallery in London. A decade later, the artist moved to Rancon, France, painting the local landscape for the remainder of his artistic career. Yates died on July 7, 2008 in England at the age of 85. His work is held in the collections of the Brighton and Hove Art Gallery, Liverpool University, and the University of Warwick.

An 'Urban Activist,' he is most famous for his colossal pictures in public spaces, which interact with the cityscape to convey messages of peace, empowerment, and social inclusivity. From Rio de Janeiro to Paris, New York to Ukraine, his work spreads hope for the forgotten ones. '28 millimètres, Portrait of a Generation, Ladj Ly' is part of his first project, set in the Les Bosquets (Montfermeil) residential area in the outskirts of Paris, highly affected by the riots of 2005. In his words: 'This image was my first large-scale pasting using strips created on a large-format printer. We pasted at night and asked kids from the neighbourhood to wait at the bottom of the ladder in order to create a crowd and avoid the police. I was pasting the second strip when we realized we made a mistake. We had to come back the next night! The pasting took eight hours with the help of all the community. Today, a pasting like this would only take us a couple of hours.' The main protagonist of this shot is director and screenwriter Ladj Ly, whose directorial debut film Les Misérables, about life in the Parisian banlieues, became a great box-office success in France in 2019. The film went on to win the Prix du Jury at the Festival de Cannes, and was nominated for the Best Foreign Film at the 2020 Oscars.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
