Irish artists
"This [The Irish] is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever." Sigmund Freud
Still to this day, Ireland is a wild and untamed country whose political and social history has profoundly affected this island. The singular character of the Irish people is reflected in the incredible and poignant beauty of its landscapes.
From James Joyce to Oscar Wilde without forgetting Samuel Beckett, Ireland is the country of writers. Land of literature, but also home of artistic creation. Let's not forget Francis Bacon, Irish major painter of the 20th century. As St-Patrick's day approaches, Artsper has selected for you works of Irish artists that will not leave you indifferent. Careful, you might need psychoanalysis yourself after this!
