"Abstract Composition," Mainie Jellett, 1929.

Irish painter Jellett (1897-1944) was one of the first artists to show Abstract art in Ireland, and was a tireless promoter of Irish modern art. She also participated in the 1928 Olympic Arts competition.

Also a talented pianist, she was undecided between music and painting in her youth, but decided on art. She was taught by such artists as William Orpen and Walter Sickert, and for a time painted in an Impressionist vein. In 1921 she and lifelong companion Evie Hone (perhaps her lover; it is unclear but considered likely) visited Paris and first encountered Cubism and modern art. In 1923 she exhibited two Cubist paintings and was purely Modern art from then on forward.

She was never famous outside of Ireland but was a pioneer of Irish avant-garde and a great promoter of new young artists.
