Description

The contribution of women to the construction of modern society has been largely forgotten in Irish history. Even though the interest in women's studies has improved in the past decades, adding women's names to history is not enough: we need to question its basis, Adela Flamarike argues in this original new book. The author explores how the distinctive features of Irish cultural nationalism led to a distinctive understanding of both womanhood and the role of women's arts in Irish cultural self-realisation. The focus on female visual art gives new clarity to the participation and circumstances of Irish women in the Irish revolution and the creation of modern society. It recovers some of the voices that have been silenced and the experiences that have been forgotten by giving them an aesthetic platform. This book is a major attempt to explore the construction of womanhood created by nationalism and the Irish Revival, to investigate whether female artists challenged this idealised representation of the feminine and, if so, how they did it. It exposes female participation in the Irish cultural scene by interrogating the new styles and techniques that women artists and craftswomen in Ireland developed between 1890 and 922. It focuses in particular on two groups of women those in the Arts & Crafts movement - whose guilds sought to offer poor women a self-determining future - and those women who travelled to the continent (notably Paris) to gain an art education which they then they integrated into their creative practice on returning to Ireland. Adela Flamarike shows that if we ignore female creation, the history of art will remain complete, and false. This book seeks to recuperate female artworks of the Irish Revival in order to contribute to creating a more complete and true history of art and therefore of culture. It also re-frames a history of art in an unbiased manner. Analysing the representation of the Irish reality painted by female artists provides a better picture of what happened and how women participated in the nationalist movement while engaging or not with feminism. The author shows that culture has played a very important part in Ireland's current process of identity definition. Irish nationalism utilised the image of the woman as a mark of the fight for independence, developing an archetype of a weak woman that needs the protection of a man. The reconstruction of the nation once independence was gained was based on the same stereotypes, and the consequences are still visible in rights and experiences of Irish women nowadays. Analysis of this concern has only begun very recently, with work on such authors as Maria Luddy, Gerardine Meaney or Sinead McCoole. However, although studies about female artists in the Irish Revival are also increasing [as we can see in the writings of historians such as Éimear O'Connor or Nicola Gordon Bowe] the researching of women artists' roles is still limited. Many studies are also biographical records which do not focus on the context, circumstances, symbology, or the role of Irish women in Irish nationalism. In the period leading up to the formation of the Irish State, governed as it was by masculine and authoritarian values, it was not acceptable for women in Irish society to claim or pursue the life of the artists. Creativity, renovation and innovation were valued as key components of life before, during and after revolution, and yet intellectual women at the beginning of the 20th century had to claim their capacity, talent and values in the shadows of their female fellows. As culture emerged as the mode of expression of nationalist ideas, visual artists were still considered less than those who dedicated themselves to literature.
