Was in a second hand bookshop recently, and they had the old Leaving Cert syllabus Art History book in the shop from when I did my leaving cert back in the 1980s.
Flicking through it, I noticed that the Irish section dealing with Irish art and architecture from pre-christian times onwards had NO information on IRISH ARCHITECTURE post 1900.
Has this changed at all?
Just interested as these are the future generations of property developers / home owners……I think I had that book as an education tool ……….it was fucking awful when dealing with Irish Architecture……..it stopped at the Georgian period…..very wishy washy indeed….what was it called again…can’t remember the name at mo….did it begin with an A………..
….did mine a ween a years back…..at that stage it did have some modern architecture in it……….was mostly bout sam stephenson and the central bank……….not a great education, more harm than good
The only text we had for Art was “The Story of Art” by Gombridge, published by Phaidon. Anyone else have this? I liked it, you were able to just read through the text for pleasure unlike so many of the text books i’ve had over the years.
This is the updated version of that book.
