SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Grace Henry (1868–1953), born Emily Grace Mitchell in Scotland, was a painter whose career developed largely in Ireland. She studied in Belgium and France before sharing a period of work on Achill Island with Paul Henry. Her involvement in founding the Dublin Painters’ Society also helped support the development of other artists and their careers.
Her work extends beyond landscapes of the Irish west. Still Life with Marble Torso, from the 1920s, in the National Gallery of Ireland, combines a sculpted torso, a book and fabrics seen from different viewpoints. Coloured shadows enliven the pale marble. Les Maisons des Humbles, an oil painting on board dated to the 1930s by the Irish Museum of Modern Art, meanwhile documents her continuing interest in inhabited places and their surroundings.
