DescriptionLodge (2) continues Elizabeth Magill's unique and singular perception of contemporary landscape. Familiar places and objects take on a different context in her work which can often surprise or unsettle the viewer. Lodge (2) is an intense small landscape painting which continues in the tradition of 19th and 20th century landscape painting. This work particularly brings to mind the work of French artist Gustav Courbet who is also represented in the collection. Acknowledged as one of Ireland's leading paintings, Elizabeth Magill's work gives these traditional landscape paintings a new context.
