AUTUMN 2012 (Lectures take place between Sept 10 & Nov 30)
AH20030: Modernism Mon & Wed @ 1 pm, Th. N (Dr. Roísín Kennedy)
Modernism examines the major themes and ideas of the modernist movement from 1905-‐1970. Through consideration of key concepts, critical texts and artworks, the principle characteristics and goals of modernism are explored. These include the importance of innovation and experimentation, the emphasis on media and technique and a new stress on the personality of the artist. A major theme is the oppositional and critical relationship between modernism and modern society, manifested in the artist's engagement with psychology, primitivism, technology and the gallery space as a means to challenge traditional ideas on art and society. The course also considers the ultimate demise of modernism as a credible critical art movement through the impact of commercial and political factors as well as the rise of post-‐structuralist theory. AH20010: Irish Painting Tue @ 12 pm Thur @ 11 am, Th. N (Dr Roísín Kennedy)
This module provides an overview of the key events and figures in the development of Irish painting from 1680 to 1922. The impact of political events, such as the decline of the Catholic aristocracy in the late 17th century and the Act of Union in 1800, on the production of Irish art is a major theme. The work of Irish artists based in London and on the continent, as well as those who remained at home, is considered. Lectures look at the influence of major European cultural trends such as the Grand Tour and the fashion for classical art in the 18th century and the growth in Antiquarianism in the 19th century on the themes and styles of Irish art. The establishment of institutions which nurtured the production and patronage of Irish art such as the Royal Dublin Society, the RHA, and the National Gallery of Ireland is also addressed. AH30100: The Grand Tour Mon @ 12 pm & Wed @ 11 am, Th. N (Dr. Nicola Figgis)
This course will examine the expeditions of Irishmen to Italy in the 18th century. Amongst the topics to be covered will be the patronage and collecting activities of Grand Tourists like Joseph Leeson and Lord Charlemont. The work of Irish artists in Italy, including Henry Trench, James Barry, Christopher Hewetson, Hugh Douglas Hamilton and Robert Fagan, will also be discussed. The course will also investigate the influence of the Grand Tour in Ireland and trace its effect on architecture, art, collecting and domestic ornament with particular reference to Castletown House, Co. Kildare, Russborough House, Co. Wicklow and the Casino at Marino.

AH30030: Irish Art in the 20th Century Mon @ 4 pm & Wed @ 2 pm, Th. N (Dr. Roísín Kennedy)
Visualizing Modern Ireland looks at the major developments in Irish art from political independence in 1922 to the emergence of the Celtic Tiger in the mid 1990s. These developments are set within the context of conflicting attitudes towards nationalism and modernism by the State, critics and artists. The course considers the role of official, corporate and private patronage, and the function of exhibition societies in the production and display of modern Irish art. It examines how Irish art has reflected the modernisation of Irish society and how it has contributed to and challenged notions of Irish cultural identity. The last section of the course focuses on key ways in which post 1970 Irish art has confronted the earlier tradition through the use of new media and new forms of practice. AH30340: 18th Century Architecture Tue @ 12 pm & Thu @ 11 am, NTh. 1 (Dr. Conor Lucey)
This course examines eighteenth-‐century architecture in Great Britain and Ireland, with a special emphasis on domestic architecture and the decorative interior between 1660 and 1820. Key areas for examination will include the influence of continental Europe; the individual roles of patron, architect and artisan; the dissemination of architectural ideas through print cultures; the classical paradigm in its civic and domestic contexts; urban planning and the Georgian squares; the social, ideological and material history of ‘home’; representations of domestic space in literature and visual culture; and an investigation of the historical contexts in which these buildings are given meaning.
SPRING 2013 (Because of a mid-‐term break, lectures take place in two blocks between Jan 21 -‐ Mar 8, & Mar 25 until Apr 26).
AH20050: Modern Architecture Mon & Wed @ 1 pm, Th. N (Professor Kathleen James-‐Chakraborty)
This module offers students an opportunity to understand and appreciate contemporary architecture by providing an overview of twentieth-‐century architecture. The new ideas, technologies and aesthetic impulses of the period will be described and analysed together with the work of leading architects. AH20070: Art & Architecture of Classical Antiquity Tue @ 12 pm Thur @ 11 am, Th N (Dr. Lynda Mulvin)
This course introduces students to the outstanding record of classical art and architecture and to an understanding of the principles, the techniques and the process of cultural diversity and assimilation that characterised the period of classical antiquity. The course begins with an overview of early beginnings in the Aegean before considering the geometric and archaic periods that led in turn to the classical period during the 5th century BC in Athens. The course also considers the achievements of the Hellenistic age, with a particular focus on monumental sculpture, public architecture and town planning. The rise of Rome is next considered in the context of Etruscan influences, followed by a detailed examination of the art and architecture of Republican and Imperial Rome. The manner in which Roman art was consciously fashioned on Greek models and myths and the distinct achievements of the Roman period are highlighted. This includes a study of how Roman art and spectacle reflected the patronage and power of the lives and personalities of the emperors who reigned from the time of Augustus to the fall of Rome. In addition, it will include a select appreciation of Roman portraiture, the house and villa, wall painting and the decorative arts. AH30140: The Courts & Court Culture Mon @ 4 pm & Wed @ 2 pm, Th. N (Professor Kathleen James-‐Chakraborty)
During the 16th and 17th centuries much of the most innovative art and architecture in Europe and Asia was produced in the major courts. From London to Kyoto, courts sponsored architecture intended to support their political power as well as painting, sculpture, and furnishings that sustained the impression of their magnificence. Focusing on the courts of Charles II in London, Philip IV in Spain, Louis XIV in Versailles, Cosimo de Medici in Florence, Urban VII in Rome, Sulieman in Istanbul, Shah Abbas in Isfahan, Shah Jahan in Delhi, Wanli in Beijing, and the imperial Japanese court in Kyoto during the Shoganate of Tokugawa Hidetada, this module will explore the ways in which the arts succeeded and failed to support these rulers and the impact of their production upon the emergence of modern consumer culture as well as the more general transformation of society.
