Collaborating in Conflict: The Yeats Family and the Public Arts

Examining the extraordinary impact the talented Yeats family had on cultural life and the public arts in Ireland during a century crucial to its history, the exhibition features over two hundred works from premier public and private collections. In illustrated poetry, set designs, embroideries for home and liturgical use, printed broadsides, paintings, sketchbooks, and other media, the siblings drew upon each other’s acumen. These endeavors were often fraught with conflict, resulting in creative tensions and financial hardships. 

 

We will meet at the museum entrance at 12:45 p.m.
