With the foundation of the Irish Exhibition of Living Art in 1943, modernism embodied by Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone, Patrick Scott, Louis le Brocquy and others- gained a foothold.

Dorothy Walker begins her survey at this exciting movement, looking back to the Irish pioneers who helped lay the ground, then tracing the work of Ireland’s best artists over a half-century up to the present day.
