IRISH ARTS REVIEW
EXHIBITIONS
Grez, such as The Bridge at Grez or
Under the Cherry Tree, are strongly reminiscent of Daubigny's romantic
effects of plein-air, never to be equalled in his later works. But it was with
portraiture, particularly women, whom
he painted again and again, with much love and sensitivity, that Lavery really excelled. His sitters were as varied as the
way he chose to portray them, ranging
from the beautiful flower girl Kathleen
MacDermott, alias Annie Evans, his first
wife, whose delicate beauty he captured in An Irish Girl, to ladies from the
highest society, including even the
Queen and the royal princes in a group
portrait of the royal family. Lavery's favourite model and inspira
tional muse however was his second wife,
Hazel Trudeau, whose striking beauty he immortalized in some of his finest por traits such as Hazel in Black and Gold
(illustrated in colour in Irish Arts Review, Vol.1 No.3 p. 15,) where her full-length figure seen from a three-quarter angle
against a neutral background is strongly reminiscent of Zurbar?n's magnificent series of single women saints.
In 1918, Lavery was knighted. One of the finest portraits painted after this event was that of His Eminence Cardinal
Logue. He also liked to paint interiors which allow us a glimpse into the
intimacy of family life, not unlike
Bonnard, another important source of
inspiration, in examples such as the
Kilkenny Interior (the house of Lavery's
stepdaughter Alice McEnery at Kil
moganny, Co. Kilkenny) where the
predominance of that special glowing red so characteristic of Bonnard is
particularly striking. Rather touchingly, after Hazel's death in 1935, and only a
few years before his own in 1941, John Lavery painted another portrait of his first wife, the way he remembered her as
the beautiful flower girl he met in the street and fell in love with. In the
relatively small space of the gallery, which succeeded to accomodate such a
comprehensive exhibition, at times by
hanging the paintings in three
superimposed rows, this very late
portrait creates a fitting pendant to the
youthfully clumsy composition meaning
fully entitled Her First Disappointment with which the exhibition opens. The whole artistic career and life of a very
outstanding, if sometimes uneven, artist
unravels between these two paintings.
