Bring the elegance of Irish Modernism into your home with this museum-quality reproduction of Abstract Composition (1935) by Mainie Jellett (1897–1944) — a visionary artist who introduced abstract painting to Ireland.
Painted in 1935, this masterpiece captures Jellett’s mature style, where Cubist structure meets spiritual symbolism. The composition unfolds in rhythmic arcs and geometric layers of warm reds, ochres, and blues, suggesting both movement and meditation. Through the disciplined arrangement of colour and form, Jellett sought to express an inner harmony — a modern reflection of Ireland’s artistic and spiritual renewal.
After studying under William Orpen in Dublin, Jellett refined her style in Paris under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes, pioneers of analytical Cubism. Their teachings inspired her to analyse rhythm, balance, and geometry, but she combined these with the lyrical and symbolic sensibilities of her Irish heritage. The result was a uniquely Irish Modernism that bridged European abstraction with native spirituality.
