An image shoeing the cover of a new book, Seeing Ireland: Art, Culture, and Power in Modern Ireland (UND Press, 2026), with a blurb quote by Diarmuid Ó Giolláin calling it a 'highly original contribution to the study of Irish Art.'

Today is publication day for this beautiful book. Inspiration for it came from seeing @billyshortall.bsky.social talk about his brilliant PhD research at the IHSA in @tlrhub.bsky.social in 2017. One of those joyful collaborations that come along sometimes in academia. Cover is a Paul Henry painting
