Themes in Irish Art I

Overview

Overview

This course presents a thematic introduction to Irish art, architecture and design in its broader international context. Subjects will be connected across periods and styles – the focus not on presenting individualised summarized histories but rather considering how aspects of Irish visual history are connected and have evolved over time.

Throughout the course, Irish visual history will be discussed within its artistic, social and cultural contexts and will be cognisant of its place within a broader European perspective.
