Irish Art 1830-1990.
Author: FALLON, Brian.
Belfast: Appletree Press, 1994. 208 pages. Illustrated. Paperback.
“While Irish writers have achieved international prominence in the twentieth century, Irish artists have made relatively little impact abroad. Yet for over a century and a half, Ireland has continuously produced painters and sculpters of international stature.
In the paperback edition of this highly acclaimed study, Brian Fallon traces the development of Irish art from its roots in the Romantic Movement through to the end of the twentieth century, and shows how it has reflected the growth of national self-consciousness and the evolution of Irish culture.
Now retired, Brian Fallon was on the staff of The Irish Times for many years as Art Critic, Literary Editor and Chief Critic.”
