A many-colored purely abstract composition with distinct geometries and a kind of vortex-center encircled with concentric layers around it, a motif which was typical of her work in this period. Some people see these types of meditative paintings as abstract versions of the Holy Family, a theme which is certainly more explicit elsewhere in her oeuvre.

Mainie Jellett. Abstract Composition, 1935.
She was instrumental in establishing abstract #Painting in Ireland, though her subject matter remained very Irish-traditional and often religiously Catholic, even icon-like. She was strong and eloquent, an avid feminist, studied under André Lhote in Paris, but unfortunately died very young.
