The early work of Irish artist Norah McGuinness was influenced by her time spent in Paris at the school of Cubist painter Andre Lhote. The influence of other Parisian artists such as Henri Matisse can be seen in her striking use of colour.

Her later work often featured Irish landscapes, particularly the docks and mud flats around Dublin Bay. McGuinness was one of the founding members of the Irish Exhibition of Living Art which was set up to showcase modern art in Ireland.
