Notes:The second work measures 14 x 14 inches.

The play explores slippages between human memory and the historical record, a theme which Dorothy Cross has continued to address obliquely in her sculptural, installation and video work concerning women in Irish history.

LIGHT ON THE HAYSTACKS
signed and dated [1936] lower left
oil on canvas
51 by 61cm., 20 by 24in.
Provenance:
Exhibited:
Literature:
Notes:This very early work of Ernest Hayes’ was painted barely two years after his term (1931-1934) as a student at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, where he studied under Seán Keating. Prior to completing his studies he began exhibiting at the RHA in 1933, continuing to do so up until his death in 1978. He also joined the Dublin Sketching Club in 1935 and one can only speculate whether the present work is perhaps his After Harvest, which was exhibited with the club in 1937 (catalogue no.16). See also lots 97 and 99.
