Frederick E. McWilliam HRUA RA (1909-1992) Suspend Belief (1976) Bronze, height 39cm (15''), signed with initials and numbered 2/5 Exhibited: 'F.E. McWilliam' Exhibition, The Taylor Gallery, Dublin 1978 'F.E. McWilliam Retrospective' travelling exhibition, Arts Council of Ireland, The Ulster Museum, April/May 1981, Douglas Hyde Gallery, May/June 1981, Crawford Gallery, Cork, July/August 1981, Cat. No. 125 Literature: 'The Sculpture of F.E. McWilliam' by Denise Ferran and Valerie Holmes, 2012, Cat. No. 433 (not illustrated) After working on his ''Women of Belfast'' series between 1972 - 74 Mc William turned his attention from the victims of the troubles in Northern Ireland to the survivors. A prologue to the new series ''Banners'' was a piece called ''Survivor'' which he completed early in 1975. He then started ''Banners'' - women as survivors and campaigners for peace : '' United as mothers across the religious and political divide we marched through towns, held rallies, galvanised speakers''. This series shows again that Mc William had not lost his Ulster roots and was concerned about what was happening there. He continued with this ''Banner'' series until the end of 1976 completing 30 different pieces in the series some of which contained non- Ulster references like ''Buy more art'' and other witty titles. We thank Dr Denise Ferran whose various writing on F.E. Mc William formed the basis of this catalogue entry. Frederick E.
