A touchstone in this project is Belgian avant-
garde artist Marthe Donas (1885–1967) who
spent two years in Dublin from 1914 and studied
at the cooperative stained-glass studio, An
Túr Gloine. Donas left Dublin after Easter 1916,
relocating to Paris where she adopted the
androgynous pseudonym ‘Tour Donas’ and
produced her first abstract compositions.
The Cubist vocabulary Donas developed is
comparable to that of Evie Hone or Mainie
Jellett and her legacy exemplifies the personal
and cultural connections that existed between
Ireland and the rest of Europe in the 1920s.
