Preface by Des McMahon PRHA. Essay by Dr. Jane Humphries
“The Academy is assiduously expanding its significant contribution to the development of Irish art and national cultural life. Our curatorial team supported by the Programme Board, chaired by Maurice Foley, has been able to deliver at the highest level the Academy’s dual aspiration of promoting tradition and innovation with a coherent selection of unique exhibitions covering the present, past and future of Irish Art”
