This study examines how Irish artistic production engages the wider
debate concerning masculine identity. It includes 40 color
reproductions of paintings by Brian Maguire, Patrick Graham, and
Michael Mulcahy. Post-modern artistic representations of male
subjectivity are examined through the works of the Irish painters
Brian Maguire, Patrick Graham, and Michael Mulcahy. They become the
main focus for a cultural critique and reassessment of perceptions
of masculinity as it emerges within a particular culture and time.
The resonances of this examination carry implications for how men
are recognised beyond the boundaries of nation and culture. The
debate generated is that the cultural, social, and political
changes experienced by Ireland through the course of the twentieth
century have had direct impact upon how individual male subjects
present, and represent, themselves. Artistic production known as
'neo-expressionism' has allowed such representations to have global
impact, and for the questions that are raised to enter different
cultural scenarios. This book operates within a sexual political
arena where patriarchal attitudes and assumptions are questioned
and redefined by its own nominees; the men who speak for any given
culture. The feet that these men speak through the fluid and
difficult to control medium of paint allows for the messages they
carry to be variously and differently interpreted. They record and
represent a male consciousness that is in transition, and it is
this which is analysed.
