89 IMPORTANT IRISH ART · 23 NOVEMBER 2026 AT 6PM 56 Gerard Dillon (1916-1971) ANY OLD TOWN watercolour, crayon and coloured chalks signed lower right; exhibition label on reverse 15 by 22.50in. (38.1 by 57.2cm) Frame Size: 22.75 by 30in. (57.8 by 76.2cm) Provenance: Whyte’s, 26 November 2007, lot 74; Private collection Related to the larger oil painting Any Old Irish Town, c.1958, this composition was created during the period that Dillon was experimenting with abstraction. Although representational, the window-studded facades in this urban scene are reminiscent of the abstract shapes in Lent, which in turn can be traced back to the compartmentalised structure of the Celtic carvings that Dillon admired at monastic sites such as Monasterboice and Mellifont.
