Portrait of Vivette Hendricks
Oil on Canvas, 60.8 x 50.7cm
Signed
Provenance: The Artist’s studio to the present owner by descent
This portrait depicts Vivette Hendricks, cousin of David Hendricks (1924–1983), founder of the Richie Hendricks Gallery in Dublin. The Hendricks family belonged to the Jamaican upper-middle class. David came to Ireland to study and remained there, establishing his own gallery and becoming a central figure in Dublin’s mid-century art world. Vivette worked as receptionist at the Richie Hendricks Gallery, located at 119 St. Stephen’s Green, which operated from 1956 to 1983. Under David’s direction, the gallery developed into a lively hub of artistic activity, attracting painters, writers, and collectors. From his student days onward, Hendricks cultivated a wide circle of friendships within the arts, including artists such as Patrick Hennessy and Harry Robertson Craig. After her years in Dublin, Vivette eventually returned to Jamaica.
