Celebrate the brilliance of Irish Modernism with this fine art quality print of Single Element (c.1938) by Mainie Jellett (1897–1944) — the pioneering artist who introduced abstraction to Ireland and reshaped the nation's visual culture.
This striking composition, built from layered greens, greys, blues and rhythmic geometric forms, showcases Jellett's mature Cubist language. In this period she achieved a unique synthesis of analytical structure and spiritual symbolism — a harmonious “visual music” that sought to reveal divine order through abstraction.
Exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in Paris (1938) among the students of her mentor Albert Gleizes, Single Element stands as a testament to her confidence and evolving style. The artwork's provenance deepens its significance: originally belonging to the artist's sister, Bay Jellett, it later featured in the Mainie Jellett Retrospective (Dublin & Cork, 1962) and appeared at Adam's with Bonhams in 2007.
Bring an authentic piece of Irish Modernism into your home — a powerful artwork that balances order, rhythm, and spiritual resonance.
