Experiences from the artist Jack B. Yeats' memory are the subjects of his paintings in oil from the mid-1920s onwards. Through the prism of memory, banal scenes such train journeys and fair days are transformed into sensual rich coloured spectacles . In this podcast Dr Brendan Rooney and Professor Ruth Byrne discuss how Yeats captures the essence of memory in these works and how retrieving ideas from memory was vital in Yeats' creative process. This podcast is presented in tandem with the National Gallery of Ireland exhibition, Jack B. Yeats: Painting & Memory (4 September 2021 - 6 February 2022). Happily supported by Key Capital.

This week Conor Tallon and Curator Michael Waldron are looking at Grace Henry's Claddagh Market, Galway... Around this time of the year on the 8th of December we see the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping calendar in Ireland. Known as the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, in years past the day saw rural shoppers visiting large towns and cities.Although not essentially a Christmas scene, Claddagh Market, Galway (1916-18) by Grace Henry captures the hustle and bustle of open-air shopping in the West of Ireland. The rounded forms of women in patterned shawls contrast with the geometric shapes of the market stalls, as thatched cottages of The Claddagh can be seen in the background.The Claddagh, a fishing village across the river from Spanish Arch and Galway city, is perhaps best known today for the ring – with hands, heart, and crown – that takes its name.Scottish artist Grace Henry (1868-1953) painted Claddagh Market, Galway during the decade she spent living on Achill Island with then husband, and fellow artist, Paul Henry (1876-1958). Post-Impressionist in style, this relatively small painting modulates strong brushwork with earth tones and sparing use of bold colour.Emily Grace Mitchell (Henry) hailed from a coastal town north of Aberdeen, but was to study at the Académie Delécluse in Paris. In 1920, she was a founding member of the Society of Dublin Painters with Letitia Marion Hamilton, Paul Henry, Mary Swanzy, and Jack B. Yeats.

The full list from my website - I have skipped some just because this is the longest podcats I have ever recorded and I wanted you to get the end! But I think maybe it's a good way to see the sheer diversity that goes into my thinking and writing. *Note - slight slip where I called it the 'Progressive' Democrats Convention this week - But that has been because it's been so Progressive to me! I think it is really important to credit others work – what has gone before you. And to allow your readers/listeners and so on to form their own opinions of the work. You don’t have to love or agree for them to inspire you – but many of these are my heroes. Not in any order – just as they came to mind. I seem to add to the list weekly as I continue to learn.
