Description: Taking as its starting point themes explored in the exhibition Revolutionary States: Home Rule and Modern Ireland this lecture series will discuss significant artistic, social and political movements in Ireland during the period 1900-1914. 2012 is the centenary of the introduction of the third Home Rule Bill to the British Parliament. Although passed, Home Rule was never implemented due to the outbreak of World War I. The Hugh Lane Gallery is uniquely placed to tell the visual story of this turbulent and complex period in Irish history. The Gallery was central to discussions on national identity as citizens from different religious and political backgrounds gathered in support of the establishment of the Gallery of Modern Art for Dublin. The resurgent Irish cultural scene stimulated debates on the emerging modernist movements in Europe and the place of Irish cultural traditions.
