Curator's Introductory Talk: Créatúir na Cartlainne | Tails from the Archive

Join exhibition curator Marie Lynch, to learn more about Créatúir na Cartlainne | Tails from the Archive.

This exhibition celebrates the Irish artist’s relationship with animals – as a source of joy, humour, awe, inspiration and companionship. The exhibition unleashes the menagerie of creatures held in the Centre for the Study of Irish Art. Beloved pets and wild beasts emerge from the archives, hidden between the pages of sketchbooks and illustrated letters, or captured forever in watercolours, stencils and maquettes.

With a particular focus on recent acquisitions, the exhibition features the work of Stephen McKenna, Nancy Wynne-Jones, Conor Fallon, Bea Orpen, Elizabeth C. Yeats, Daniel O’Neill, Anne Yeats, Oisín Kelly, Basil Rákóczi, Jack B. Yeats, Deborah Brown, and William Orpen.
