The Arts in a Time of Transition The seminar will examine the period 1880-1920 in art, literature and music. The extraordinary pace of change during this time was both confusing and exciting. Few would dispute that the most vital developments, from an artistic point of view, took place in France, Austria, Russia and America and the seminar will focus on works produced in these countries. It was during this period that the accepted modes of art were questioned for the first time. This conscious and decisive break with tradition would result in the birth of modernism.
Dates: Saturday 20th - Sunday 21st March 2010 Book your place here now View brochure here |

Tracing the History of Christian Art This lecture, given by John O’Riordan, MA Art History UCD, is intended to weave the loose threads together to reveal the glorious tapestry that is Christian Art. In the process, it is hoped to discern some of the influences that informed Irish medieval art. The great richness and expressiveness of Christian Art is a marriage of two forms, two sensibilities, and two conflicting injunctions. Its genesis lies, on the one hand, among the splendours late Imperial Rome and on the other hand in the remote and humble monasteries of Coptic Egypt. While in Exodus, we are enjoined not to make a likeness of anything that is in the Heaven above, or in the Earth beneath, Pope Gregory the Great demanded that art be ‘a bible for the illiterate’.
Date: Thursday 25th March 2010 Time: 8pm |
