Teatime Talks: ‘Flora Mitchell – Depicting Tenement Dublin’ with Dr Kathryn Milligan

This event has ended

Online, Wednesday 16th March

14 Henrietta Street presents Teatime Talks, a series of talks inspired by the history and people of 14 Henrietta Street.

Art Historian Kathryn Milligan will examine depictions of inner-city Dublin from Flora Mitchell’s book Vanishing Dublin (1966).

Mitchell’s book captured a changing city, and showed streets like Henrietta Street in a time of transition. Born in the United States, and remembered in particular for her mid-20th-century paintings of old Dublin architecture, Mitchell studied art at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art and exhibited work in the Royal Hibernian Academy.

Dr Kathryn Milligan is the author of Painting Dublin: Visualising A Changing City 1886-1949. She has guest lectured at galleries around Ireland, including the National Gallery of Ireland, the Hugh Lane Gallery, Limerick City Art Gallery and the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork.

This talk will take place online using Zoom. You will need an internet connection and a compatible device (e.g. computer, laptop, iPad, tablet, phone) to access Zoom.

The Zoom link for this online event will be sent to you in a reminder email, 24 hours prior to the event.
