Norah McGuinness HRHA (1901-1980) Donegal Stream Oil on canvas, 45.75 x 56cm, (18 x 22'') Signed and dated '67 verso. Inscribed with title verso Provenance: From the artist's family by descent Exhibited: Norah McGuinness Exhibition, The Dawson Gallery, April 1968 Cat. No. 11, priced 70 guineas Donegal Stream and, more especially, Walking along the Road, are typical of her late '60s style. White is now almost an obsession. In the former painting, exhibited at the Dawson Gallery in 1968, it is used to highlight the star element of the production : the stream is young and turbulent, newly minted from the earth. All else in the landscape pales into insignificance; all else is used and old hat. Her colours alone suggest this; even the greens of the foliage are faded and gone over, the ochre of the ground almost sepia. Only the vital, young, forceful flood of water compels our attention. In Walking along the Road we are in a winter wonderland. The stark trunks of the hibernating trees only accentuate the power of winter and its utter inevitability. The walkers may enjoy it but for the vegetation it is a time of regrouping and renewal. There is a serenity to this painting as the blanket of snow silences the footstep and lends a gauze of innocence to a dirty world. Norah at her most poetic.
