CHATSWORTH SUMMER ART SALE July 10th, 2024

271 info@fonsiemealy.ie 261. Marshall C. Hutson (1903-2001) (attr) Bust of Roger Casement bronze, approx. 48cms (19”) high. While the attribution of this bust of Roger Casement to Marshall Hutson, an artist who worked in Cork for over seventy years, is tentative, it fits with both Hutson’s interest in Kerry and other portrait busts he sculpted. One of the most famous Irish patriots of the early twentieth century, Casement has been depicted in bronze by several artists, including Joe Neeson, Gary Trimble and Mark Richards. Although the present work is not signed, its subject matter and style point to Hutson. Born in Nottingham, Marshall Hutson studied at the School of Art in that city. Moving to Ireland in 1930, he worked as vice-principal of the Crawford School of Art until 1962. Accomplished in many branches of the arts, including wood and stone carving, painting and graphic design, he painted murals, including one of early steam trains in Kent railway station. In 1958 he carved a stone crest of the City of Cork, to replace the royal coat of arms on the headquarters of the Cork Harbour Commissioners. He also carved works for the City Library, College of Commerce, and UCC. Among his bronze portrait busts is Micheál MacLiammóir as Mark Antony. When the film Ryan’s Daughter was being filmed on the Dingle peninsula, Hutson made regular visits to record, in sketches and drawings, both the Kerry landscapes and film sets. A regular exhibitor at the Royal Hibernian Academy, from 1931 until the 1980’s, he was elected ARHA in 1958. €1000-€1500 Click here for More Details & to Bid on This Lot 261
