ART APPRECIATION
An Introduction to Irish Painting
SPRING AN242
Saturday
This general survey course will provide an introduction to paintings produced by Irish artists at home and abroad up to and including the twentieth century. It will examine the notion of “Irishness” in these works. This will include an examination of the place of Irish art in Ireland’s history and how it can be seen as a reflection of the changing social, political, religious and economic influences. There will also be a close look at the careers of some of the key figures in Irish art such as James Barry, William Orpen, Jack B. Yeats and Mainie Jellett. An essential element of this course will be the two visits to the National Gallery of Ireland and one to the Hugh Lane Gallery.
