When asked, Patsy Dan Rogers, who owned this work, nor others who knew the artist could explain what this picture depicts with its romantic Nation- alist figures. As it was painted in 1966 it might have been as part of the 50 year Easter Rising Commem- orations or perhaps it was a response to something in Dixon’s youth? It was preceded by a previous ‘ Self Portrait with Flags ’ painted in 1963 and a portrait of ‘ Mr Hill with Flag ’ showing the artist Derek Hill with a Union Jack painted again in 1966. € 1,500 - 2,500
