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.

Music for Mondrian: Part Two

Piet Mondrian was enthralled by modernity and, across the span of his life, encountered it in some of the great cities of the world: Amsterdam, Paris, London and New York. The musical cultures of jazz and dance held particular resonance for him and so, as part of the National Gallery of Ireland's celebration of Mondrian’s work, we invited Emilie Conway, a contemporary jazz artist, to engage with this important aspect of his life and career. Emilie’s research over the course of this project has resulted in a series of fascinating podcasts in which she discusses the development of Mondrian’s work in the context of the musical soundscapes of his age. The episodes are interspersed with musical vignettes, and include contributions from her musical collaborators, Johnny Taylor (piano) and Barry Donohue (bass). This podcast was produced to celebrate the Mondrian exhibition at the National Gallery of Ireland.
