§ Breon O'Casey (British 1928-2011) Study for Éan Mór, circa 2006 III/V, initialled and numbered (to underside of base), patinated bronze, marble baseDimensions:20cm high, 20cm wide (7 7/8in high, 7 7/8in wide) excluding baseProvenance:When originally purchased from the artist, O'Casey sent a note explaining 'I enclose a token of thanks for all your trouble...It's a maquette of the big one...Breon'.Note: The large scale Éan Mór is situated at Phoenix Park, Dublin. "It’s odd, but although my paintings are almost always abstract, my sculptures arealmost always of some animal, bird or person. I don’t know why this is; but maybepainting is a language - a language writ on hardboard, paper or canvas. The languageof colour and form - as John Wells says: “whereas sculpture is objects”. And an object,unless it be a stone, must be of something." (Breon O'Casey)
