Nearly all of the works within this remarkable volume--many of them never published before--have been drawn from North American collections. This catalogue accompanies the first exhibition to celebrate the Irish as artists, collectors, and patrons over 150 years of Ireland's sometimes turbulent history. Featuring the work of a wide range of artists--known and unknown--and a diverse array of media, the catalogue also includes an impressive assembly of essays by a pre-eminent group of international experts working on the art and cultural history of Ireland. Major essays discuss the subjects of the Irish landscape and tourism, Irish country houses, and Dublin's role as a center of culture and commerce.

Book Synopsis Art and the Nation State by : Róisín Kennedy
Download or read book Art and the Nation State written by Róisín Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art and the Nation State is a wide-ranging study of the reception and critical debate on modernist art from the foundation of the Irish Free State in 1922 to the end of the modernist era in the 1970s. Drawing on art works, media coverage, reviews, writings and the private papers of key Irish and international artists, critics and commentators including Samuel Beckett, Thomas MacGreevy, Clement Greenberg, James Johnson Sweeney, Herbert Read and Brian O'Doherty, the study explores the significant contribution of Irish modernist art to post-independence cultural debate and diverging notions of national Irish identity. Through an analysis of major controversies, the book examines how the reputations of major Irish artists was moulded by the prevailing demands of national identity, modernization and the dynamics of the international art world. Debate about the relevance of the work of leading international modernists such as the Irish-American sculptor, Andrew O'Connor, the French expressionist painter, Georges Rouault, the British sculptor Henry Moore and the Irish born, but ostensibly British, artist Francis Bacon to Irish cultural life is also analysed, as is the equally problematic positioning of Northern Irish artists.

Book Synopsis Focus: Irish Traditional Music by : Sean Williams
Download or read book Focus: Irish Traditional Music written by Sean Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focus: Irish Traditional Music is an introduction to the instrumental and vocal traditions of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, as well as Irish music in the context of the Irish diaspora. Ireland's size relative to Britain or to the mainland of Europe is small, yet its impact on musical traditions beyond its shores has been significant, from the performance of jigs and reels in pub sessions as far-flung as Japan and Cape Town, to the worldwide phenomenon of Riverdance. Focus: Irish Traditional Music interweaves dance, film, language, history, and other interdisciplinary features of Ireland and its diaspora. The accompanying CD presents both traditional and contemporary sounds of Irish music at home and abroad.
Book Synopsis W. B. Yeats and the Language of Sculpture by : Jack Quin
Download or read book W. B. Yeats and the Language of Sculpture written by Jack Quin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively examines the relationship between literature and sculpture in the work of W. B. Yeats, drawing on extensive archival research to offer revelatory new readings of the poet. The book traces Yeats's literary and critical engagement with Celtic Revival statuary, public monuments in Dublin, the coin designs of the Irish Free State, abstract sculpture by the Vorticists and modernists, and a variety of carvings, decorative sculptures, and objets d'art. By charting Yeats's early art school education in Dublin, his attempts to raise funds for public monuments in the city, and to secure commissions for his favourite sculptors, the book documents a lifelong interest in the plastic arts. New and original readings of Yeats's poetry, drama, and prose criticism emerge from this concertedly inter-arts and interdisciplinary study.

Book Synopsis The Art of Robert Costelloe by : Patricia McCabe (Art historian)
Download or read book The Art of Robert Costelloe written by Patricia McCabe (Art historian) and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The short but brilliant career as sculptor and painter of the Irish artist Robert Costelloe included periods in New York, North Carolina, Rome and London. His tragic death in 1974 at the age of 31 ended the career of an artist whose creativity and diversity merited a high profile in Irish art of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was the recipient of various awards at home and abroad and his volume of work includes drawings, paintings, ceramics and sculpture, examples of which are in important collections in Ireland and abroad. His pictures are abstract paintings with colour and form as subjects and are unusually large for the period. Costelloe also created a varied collection of abstract outdoor sculptures which continue to be exhibited in Ireland and America. Yet due to his early death and the widely dispersed nature of his works, many of which are monumental in size, Costelloe has remained almost unknown to the artistic world. In this critical work Dr. Patricia McCabe has assembled and illustrated over a hundred works by Costelloe, and pieced together his brilliant but short artistic career. This book is intended to place Costelloe among the pioneers of modern Irish art of the late twentieth century.

Book Synopsis The Life and Work of Thomas MacGreevy by : Susan Schreibman
Download or read book The Life and Work of Thomas MacGreevy written by Susan Schreibman and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a poet and literary critic, Thomas MacGreevy is a central force in Irish modernism and a crucial facilitator in the lives of key modernist writers and artists. The extent of his legacy and contribution to modernism is revealed for the first time in The Life and Work of Thomas MacGreevy. Split into four sections, the volume explains how and where MacGreevy made his impact: in his poetry; his role as a literary and art critic; during his time in Dublin, London and Paris and through his relationships with James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Wallace Stevens, Jack B Yeats and WB Yeats. With access to the Thomas MacGreevy Archive, contributors draw on letters, his early poetry, and contributions to art and literary journals, to better understand the first champion of Jack B. Yeats, and Beckett's chief correspondent and closest friend in the 1930s. This much-needed reappraisal of MacGreevy, the linchpin between the main modernist writers, fills missing gaps, not only in the story of Irish modernism, but in the wider history of the movement.
