	Irish Art - John Lavery
		Lavery used the same motif in a number of other works of the period, for example, La Pecheuse and Under the Cherry Tree, both painted in Grez in the same year as the current work and in a companion painting, A Stranger, painted in the previous year of 1883.
		Lavery’s preoccupation here is in capturing the light on the distant hills, the vivid patches of blues and greens on the water and the stark white sand of the foreground.
		John Lavery was orphaned by the age of three and spent his formative years on his uncle's farm, south of his native Belfast.

	John Lavery
		Lavery began as a photographer's assistant before beginning his artist training in Glasgow and Paris.
		While abroad, he was much influenced by the realist school, particularly by the rustic naturalism of Jules Bastien-Lepage, and on his return, he naturally came to be associated with The Glasgow Boys.
		Lavery's work however, tended to reflect the middle classes at play (best seen in his 1885 painting, The Tennis Party), rather than the more rural themes of the others in the group.

		Sir John Lavery, who was born in Belfast, was one of the most celebrated artists of his generation.
		In particular, he became enthralled with the light and warmth of the area and with the bright colours of the native Arab dress and these elements, perhaps more than anything else, came to influence his work.
		From around 1908 Lavery became engrossed with the beach at Tangier and its broader hinterland, which he painted at various times of the day and night, being captivated by the mood and atmosphere of the scene.

	Review - Very Good Butter by John Lavery
		This collection of short stories is the first book by John Lavery, a Quebecer with an international and varied education.
		The strongest element of the story is its narrative voice, which moves quickly and refuses to allow the reader to settle on any singular narrative track for long - the instability of meaning being one of Lavery's strongest themes.
		But this failure is more than forgivable, as Lavery has demonstrated an original calling and vision, which if it borrows from anywhere, it borrows from fabulists like Terry Southern or Italo Calvino - who are part of a constellation in the literary universe Canadian writers, and readers, could do worse than visit more often.
