Looking past the apparent lack of a sustainable Irish display
culture, this book demonstrates that there is a very full story to
tell of the way Ireland displayed its art from the late eighteenth
to the early twentieth century. Ireland on Show analyzes the impact
of the display of art as a significant political and cultural
feature in the make-up of nineteenth-century Ireland - and in how
Ireland was viewed beyond its own shores, in particular in Great
Britain and the United States. Fintan Cullen directs much-needed
critical attention and analysis to a subject that has been largely
overlooked from an Irish perspective. This study moves beyond
museums, to address the range of art institutions in Irish cities
that displayed art, from the Royal Hibernian Academy, founded in
the 1820s, to Hugh Lane's Municipal Art Gallery, opened in Dublin
in 1908. Throughout, the book explores the battle between the
display of a unionist ethos and a nationalist point of view, a
constant that resurfaces over the period. By highlighting the
tension between unionist and nationalist viewpoints, Cullen uses
the display of art to investigate the complexities of Irish
cultural life before the founding of the Free State.
