Dublin and Art 1920-1950 with Dr Anne Cormican
Continuing this popular series exploring Dublin and Art, these illustrated art talks series presented as part of the Hugh Lane Gallery’s off-site Explore & Learn programme will explore how artists have been inspired by the people and places of Dublin city from the late 19th century to the present day. The specific focus of this talk is the period 1920-50, the formative years of the new Irish state and when modernism was coming to the fore.
