In this talk, Professor Morna O’Neill will consider how French Impressionism came to be viewed as a model for Irish art in the early twentieth century. Borrowing from the broader “spatial turn” in the humanities, she will provide a spatial art history of Impressionism in Dublin to understand the important role that French art played in narratives of Irish nationalism.
All are welcome.
Co-sponsored by the Snite Museum of Art in conjunction with the fall meeting of its advisory council
