EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Roderic O Conor's masterpiece, "Woman with back light; Femme a Contre Jour" painted in 1907. The oil on board painting depicts a stunning female figure illuminated by the soft glow of natural light streaming through a window. With her curly hair cascading down her shoulders and dressed in delicate nightwear, the woman exudes an air of modern traditional British elegance. O Conor's post-impressionist style is evident in this portrait, as he skillfully captures the play between light and shadow to create depth and texture. The artist's use of vibrant colors adds vibrancy to the scene, enhancing the overall allure of the composition. Seated gracefully with direct gaze towards the camera, this mid-adult woman emanates confidence and poise. Her posture suggests both relaxation and contemplation as she sits alone in her dressing gown within an intimate indoor setting. The artwork reflects O Conor's Irish heritage while also embodying elements of European artistry from that era. It serves as a testament to his talent for capturing human emotion through portraiture. This print allows us to appreciate O Conor's mastery firsthand, showcasing his ability to convey beauty and sensuality through brushstrokes on board. As we admire this semi-nude portrayal of a woman caught in time during early 20th century Europe, we are transported into an era where artistry flourished amidst changing societal norms.
