Hanlon ( - ) MADONNAAND CHILD oil on canvas board 50 x 35cm (19.69 x 13.78in) Provenance: George Montague Gallery, Dublin; Private Collection By the time Jack P. Hanlon was ordained in 1939, he already had a thriving career as an artist. Largely self-taught, like several of his contemporaries he did spend a short time at the atelier of Andre Lhote in Paris. Lhote’s variety of Cubism was less extreme than that pioneered by Picasso and Braque, and more traditionally pictorial. That, and Post-Impressionism shaped Hanlon’s per- sonal style, which favoured light tonality and bright colour in addressing a wide variety of themes. His Madonna and Child, with its references to mosaic, is a good example. €1,200-1,800 (£1,043-1,565)
