Irish artist Donald Teskey at 70: âThereâs a lot of history â of baggage â to paintingâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Artists can be more susceptible than most to the subtleties of their surroundings, but environment affects us all. This is something for planners to consider as they mark the routes of roads and draw out the boxes that will both shelter and inflect the passage of our lives. These questions have come to mind in the company of Donald Teskey, who turned 70 this year. The acclaimed Irish artist is talking from his newish studio in rural Co Mayo; he moved from Dublin two years ago. Teskey turns his s
Mainie Jellett at Whyteâs auction: a unique marriage of cubism with religious and Celtic motifs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What a difference a year makes â Mainie Jellett painted her charming and delicate little watercolour, Gorse (â¬1,500-â¬2,000) in 1920. She, or less likely a subsequent owner, had liked it enough to put it up in her studio, arrayed to inspire. You can see the pin marks that make this piece even more alive to the mind. A year later, Jellett and her friend Evie Hone would be in Paris, studying cubism and exploring abstraction under the tutelage of André Lhote and Albert Gleizes. As last yearâ
Culture Night 2026: 12 events to catch off the beaten track (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Culture Night takes to the skies, the waters, the main stages and the back lanes of Ireland in this, its 21st year. With more than a thousand free things to do across the country, the event gives the lie to the idea that culture has to be highbrow, and this yearâs line-up proves that culture, as musician and artist Brian Eno once described it, is âanything you donât have to doâ. There is also a welcome emphasis on community-led events in this yearâs programme. Organised types will alre
âYouâre looking at the artistâs mind workingâ: Marvels of the National Galleryâs works on paper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
According to Henri Matisse, âpainting and drawing say the same thingâ, but âa drawing is a painting made with reduced meansâ. Is that true? Is drawing the undersung younger sibling of paint? If thatâs the case, Rembrandt to Matisse, the exhibition of European works on paper at the National Gallery of Ireland, shows that perhaps drawingâs limelight moment has come. Through lines on paper made with chalk, pastel, etching, ink and graphite, there is something enticingly intimate about a
Former Irish Times chief critic Brian Fallon dies aged 93 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The author, essayist and critic Brian Fallon has died. He was 93. A former literary editor of The Irish Times, and its chief critic for 35 years, Fallon was also founder of the newspaperâs Weekend supplement, testament to his belief that, rather than culture and criticism being a rarefied pursuit, everything could, and should, be interesting through the right lens. His many publications included books on the Irish artists Charles Tyrrell, Martin Gale, Patrick Swift and Seán McSweeney, among o
