  Irish Nationalism and Art II: 1900 - 1970
With a hold on the art education in the capital the nationalists were able to influence teaching in the art colleges and schools throughout the Free State.
Art colleges throughout the country (and even in the Dublin suburb of Dun Laoghaire) had been discreetly modernising their curricula and teaching methods, and employing teachers from abroad, many of them émigrés.
Art is not averse to being an instrument for promoting by illustration the cause of religion, morality or patriotism; and some of the finest works of art have been produced in these causes.

 Conceptual art Summary
Conceptual art, sometimes called idea art, is art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved are considered the real substance of the art, in distinction to the traditional expectation of a made art object to be the criterion.
In traditional terms this could not be said to be art because it was not made by an artist, it was not made with the intention of being art, and, being a commonplace object, it did not possess the expected visual properties of art.
Conceptual art also reacted against the commoditization of art; it attempted a subversion of the gallery or museum as the location and determiner of art, and the art market as the owner and distributor of art.

 Phoenician Art
Phoenician art served many purposes which include religious, trade or others but was meant to appeal to a visual impact and communicate ideas.
Further, Phoenician art is often conservative in nature and the same motifs are reproduced in similar ways for centuries.
Some of the art was confined to a more purely Phoenician, ritual context and reflects religious beliefs and documents cultic practices we are only beginning to comprehend.

 Reclaiming Our Art
Nevertheless, the achievements of the 1970's women's art movement were enormous and it is one of the most influential movements of that decade.
Nochlin's basic argument is, given in her own words,….as we know, in the arts as in a hundred other areas, things remain stultifying, oppressive, and discouraging to all those-women included-who did not have the good fortune to be born white, preferably middle class, and, above all, male.
Morse's argument on the physical aspects of art making as well as her other claims on why women are absent in art history texts, all tie in with the necessity of the consideration of gender.

Although he is a professional painter, his remarkable intelligence can be seen from the career of his study in Yale School of Art and that of his teaching in Visual Arts School.
His paintings feature vivid and powerful strokes so much for abstract works, dynamic contrast of colors shown in the expression of details, wide open manipulation of the surface, and abstract figures that remind one of various objets, added to originally abstract shapes, spots and traces of scratches.

 Carter - Various Media - The Saatchi Gallery
Exploring the relationship between the legacy of artistic identity and the queer closeting predominant in the mid-20th century, Carter presents the masculine body as generic symbol and signifier.
Often evolving his drawings from three dimensional models, Carter’s sculpture 1949, Self Portrait of a Homosexual 1965, 1970 poses as a synthetic ‘original’ in his ongoing practice of artistic ‘cloning’.
Overt in its sexual subject matter, the title of this work points to key eras in art history where gay politics began to be included (retrospectively) as part of critical discourse.

 Against criticism: the artist interview in Avalanche magazine, 1970-76 Art Journal - Find Articles
Within the art world, however, the artist interview manifested a different set of public concerns in the pages of Avalanche, a magazine founded by Willoughby Sharp and Liza Bear in 1968 to document performance- and conceptual-art practices.
Published thirteen times between 1970 and 1976, the magazine suggested how the quintessential publicity form of the interview might instead function in the formation of a radical counterpublic, namely the politicized alternative-arts community centered in SoHo in the early 1970s.
Given this background, we can understand the publication of Avalanche within a broader transformation in the reception of art during this period in which the art magazine served as a necessary new physical support--or medium--for the public circulation of the various dematerialized practices of 1960s art.
