James Barry
James Barry (1741-1806) is perhaps the most significant artist to have been
born and trained in Cork. Much of his works reflect the history and politics
of his own times, as well as the classical art of Greece and Rome. The
strong moral and social content in his paintings show him to be an early
Neo-Classicist, yet his life was thwarted by a strong romantic temperament,
an argumentative nature and financial misfortune. The James Barry Exhibition
will present an unequalled opportunity to re-examine Barry's contribution to
both the history of art and the history of his own times, with works on loan
from key collections in Ireland, Europe and North America, as well as
presenting recently rediscovered paintings. The exhibition will conclude
with an international academic conference which will coincide with the
bicentenary of Barry' s death. Crawford Art Gallery, Emmet Place.

School of Art and Design. He is now based in Dublin. His bold, gestural
paintings take as their subject the shorelines and seascapes of Ireland, and
his surfaces, thick with impasto deal as much with the rough texture of
weather beaten rocks or wind blown water as they tell of the fall of light
or colour. Vangard Gallery, Carey' s Lane.
