Read more Evie Hone Lot 25 - 'Man - Homage to Roualt' Estimate: €1,500 - €2,500 Along with Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone is credited with introducing French Modernist art, and Cubism in particular, into Ireland. At a time when the teaching in the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin was resolutely controlled by Realist and Impressionist artists, Hone travelled to Paris in 1920 to study under Andre Lhote, a Modernist painter. A few months later, she was joined by her fellow-student and friend Mainie Jellett. Disenchanted with the liberal atmosphere in Lhote's atelier in rue Odessa, the two young artists moved on the following year to study with the Cubist painter Albert Gleizes at his studio in Puteaux, a suburb of Paris. Well-connected politically, Gleizes had converted to Catholicism three years earlier, and his social idealism and intense devotion to religious subject matter in art was much more to the taste of the two young Irish artists. Although Gleizes did not as a rule take on students, he made an exception in the case of Jellettt and Hone. In 1921 they began their studies, although it is clear they quickly began to influence Gleizes too. Over the next decade, they visited him one or twice a year, either in Paris or at the atelier he had found in the Ardèche, to further their studies. In the years following, in Ireland, while Jellett continued to produce Synthetic Cubist paintings that closely reflect Gleizes' teachings, Hone took her exploration of Modernist art to a new level. In particular, in designs for stained glass windows for An Tur Gloine, she began to outline her figures with heavy black lines, echoing the work of Georges Rouault However, while Rouault had, in addition to Christian themes, depicted courtrooms, circus clowns and bordellos, Hone's piety is reflected in her unwavering subject matter of landscape and religious subject-matter.
