THE BREAKING WAVE, ACHILL by Paul Henry
THE BREAKING WAVE, ACHILL (c.1911-1913)
Oil on board. 13" x 17" (30.5 x 43cm), signed.
‘Achill spoke to me, it called to me as no other place ever had done. The absence of hurry was one of the most endearing qualities of my new way of life’, Paul Henry wrote in his autobiography, An Irish Portrait, (London, Batsford, 1951, pp. 50, 51). Before that he had lived in London, which he described with its wealth, hustle and bustle.
‘It was not difficult to make friends on the island because everyone was so kind and helpful. They just came into my life naturally and unexpectedly’
