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.
