Uncreased spine. -- Published on the occasion of the exhibition, "Sir John Lavery: Passion and Politics", 15 July to 31 October 2010. Essay by Sinéad McCoole, with an introduction by Barbara Dawson. -- From the back cover: "In 1916 the Irish artist Sir John Lavery arranged sittings with the Unionist and Nationalist leaders, Sir Edward Carson and John E. Redmond, agreeing with them in advance that their portraits would hang together in a Dublin gallery. When Redmond heard of Lavery's plan he replied: 'I have always had an idea that Carson and I might someday be hanged side-by-side in Dublin'. As we approach the hundredth anniversary of the key events in Irish history through which Sir John and Lady Lavery lived - the Rising, the First World War, the War of Independence, the Civil War, the foundation of the Irish Free State, and the establishment of Northern Ireland - this exhibition itself is historic, as it brings both parts of Lavery's 'Island of Ireland' collection together for the first time." -- "Sir John Lavery was one of the most famous celebrity portrait painters at the turn of the 20th century. He and his beautiful wife Hazel, who was born in Chicago, were the original celebrity couple in London society where John enjoyed huge patronage from the British establishment. They counted Winston Churchill among their friends and Hazel, herself an artist, taught him to paint. Sir John Lavery donated a substantial number of works to The Hugh Lane when his wife Hazel died in 1935. Previously, in 1929, he donated a large collection of work to the then Belfast Museum and Art Gallery, now the Ulster Museum. These two donations to the North and South of the 'Island of Ireland' provide a unique insight into that turbulent period of our history. It is one of the most singular and significant historical records of the period and is at the heart of this exhibition, Sir John Lavery: Passion and Politics. The exhibition includes film and archive material, never shown in public exhibition before, that provide insights into the social and political context in which Lavery was painting. Passion and Politics documents the lives of Sir John and Hazel Lavery and their involvement in a newly shaped Ireland, a partitioned Ireland, which had only recently been formalised at the time of his gift."
