Images and Insights - Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art

287 pages. Illustrations, mostly coloured. Original publisher's cloth, spine lettered gilt, with original pictorial unclipped dust jacket. Images and Insights gives the reader an opportunity to view many of the treasures housed at the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art. With over 125 colour plates, this book presents a selection of works from the Gallery's Irish and international collection of paintings, sculptures, watercolours and drawings. The collection dates from the mid 19th century to the present day and the revolutionary movements in 20th century art, beginning with the Impressionists, are well represented. In accordance with the concept behind the establishment of such a Gallery, the international collection complements the extensive range of 20th century Irish art. Inscribed, signed copy from Barbara Dawson, the gallery director, editor and one of the authors of this volume.
