22 13 Fr. Jack P. Hanlon (1913-1968) Flower Market signed lower left watercolour 38 x 56.5cm (15 x 22.25in) Provenance: The Estate of the artist; Taylor Galleries, Dublin (label verso); Private Collection €800-1,200 (£707-1,061) By the time Jack P. Hanlon was ordained in 1939, he already had a thriving career as an artist. Largely self-taught, like several of his contemporaries he did spend a short time at the atelier of Andre Lhote in Paris. Lhote’s variety of Cubism was less extreme than that pioneered by Picasso and Braque, and more traditionally pictorial. That, and Post-Impressionism shaped Hanlon’s personal style, which favoured light tonality and bright colour in addressing a wide variety of themes.
