The Human Image series spanned the years c.1996-2005 and saw le Brocquy further develop his
preoccupation with the human spirit or psyche which he first examined in his Presences series of mid
1950s to mid 1960s. Curator and lecturer Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith has described the artist’s motivation
for this later series as a painterly investigation of ‘the mysterious state of conscious being.’”
