	YAM November 1997 - Irish Art at the BAC
		The document serves as a kind of manifesto for the show, which argues that Ireland's paintings must be seen through the lens of the nation's history, and particularly its long struggle with the British.

		The first room offers the stark contrasts of British rule in the 19th century: An 1845 painting of a lavish party of Anglo-Irish aristocrats faces an image of a poor tenant farmer across the room, while documents about the potato famine are displayed in a case between them.
