Sources in Irish Art 2: A Reader is an anthology of literary and
critical sources for the study of visual art and Ireland. It is a
completely new version of the 2000 publication, Sources in Irish
Art with an additional editor, brand new texts with the historical
range stretching from the seventeenth to the twenty-first
centuries. Divided into four sections, Art historiography,
Nationalism and identity, the Wider world, and Art and text, the
sources included are taken from letters, travel diaries,
antiquarian writings, art dictionaries, accounts of collections,
memoirs, essays, exhibition catalogues and reviews, and government
enquiries. The sources range from the letters of Jonathan Swift in
the eighteenth century regarding the conservation of funerary
monuments in St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin to a 2010 essay on
the impact of the sexuality of the modern Irish artist, Gerard
Dillon on his practice. While many of the earlier sources refer to
art produced in the colonial period, those of the twentieth and
twenty-first century relate to art produced in an independent
Ireland and in the newly created Northern Ireland. In recent years
there has been a dramatic upsurge in research and publishing on
Irish art that has produced new writings and new approaches which
has furthered the rediscovery of forgotten or overlooked texts.
This anthology aims to make such texts easily available to the
general reader, the student or teacher. While well-known names in
Irish art from Jack B. Yeats to Alice Maher feature in this
anthology, the editors also offer commentary from international
voices such as Gustave Courbet, Clement Greenberg, Lucy Lippard and
Thomas McEvilley. The diversity and broad chronological range of
texts offer unique and exceptional insights into the issues and
ideas that influenced the production and responses to art in
Ireland.
