Dairine Vanston 1903-1988

Abstract

The subject of my research is the contribution made by the artist Dairine Vanston to Irish Modernism. Although she received critical acclaim in her day and was considered to be the most avant-garde of her generation, she is little known today. Vanston regularly contributed to mainstream exhibitions in Dublin, such as the Irish Exhbition of Living art, for over forty years. I intend to catalogue and re-assess her work.
