| Summary: | "Through his depictions of Dublin's public spaces, domestic interiors and gardens, the Irish countryside, and most importantly its people, a vision of a vibrant -- if divided -- Ireland emerges. Osborne's experiences abroad during his formative years, his professional and social networks, and his commerical acument helped establish Dublin's unique brand of modern painting rife with the possibility of change. Osborne's notable painting, 'At the Breakfast Table (1894)', with its focus on family and home, launches a exploration of the other iconic works produced at the height of his career, including his portraits of distinguished personalities and children, as well as city views such as 'Saint Patrick's Close' and 'In a Dublin Park, Light and Shade'."-- Book jacket. |
