The Art of… | No Critics Just Artists

“Esta crisis no ha terminado. Miles de niños están separados de sus padres sin un plan claro sobre cómo reunirlos. La administración actual ha creado por sí sola una tragedia humana sin planes para deshacer el daño que se ha hecho.
El presidente debe poner fin a su política fronteriza de “cero tolerancia” para evitar daños mayores y dejar de encarcelar a las familias y los niños que huyen de la violencia y la opresión. Esta política carece de humanidad, no nos hace más seguros y, de hecho, desvía los recursos de las amenazas reales a la seguridad de nuestra nación.
El daño se ha hecho a la humanidad y la dignidad de los niños y las familias directamente afectadas y a nuestra nación en general.
Debemos tener un plan integral de inmigración que refleje nuestros valores y honre nuestras tradiciones.” –Cory Booker

Todos nosotros deberíamos estar sufriendo en este momento por las noticias de niños que fueron arrancados de sus familias en la frontera. Esto no es correcto y debería perturbar y activar nuestro sentido moral. ⠀
No tiene que ser así. La Administración de Trump puede elegir de inmediato revertir su política inhumana que separa por la fuerza a las familias. ⠀
Cada día que pasa cuando los niños son separados de sus padres y colocados en condiciones espantosas, la Administración Trump está cometiendo actos vandálicos morales contra nuestros ideales como nación, robando a las familias afectadas ya todos nosotros la dignidad y la humanidad. ⠀
No podemos estar en silencio. Esa no es la forma estadounidense. No guarde silencio durante este tiempo: el silencio es complicidad, hable, llame a su congresista y senador, despierte los corazones de los demás, no sea solo un espectador en este momento moral de nuestra historia.

The gallery’s original collection of modern art was presented by Sir Hugh Lane in 1908 and has, over the last century been enhanced by notable bequests, gifts and acquisitions including Francis Bacon’s Studio and Archive and Sean Scully’s gift of paintings.

Charlemont House was designed by William Chambers in 1763 for James Caulfeild The first Earl of Charlemont and was refurbished as a public art gallery in 1933.

On entering the gallery please go to the reception desk where an attendant will assist you with all relevant information regarding the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions as well as workshops, tours and events. Next to reception is the stained glass room, which contains the remarkable and ever popular Harry Clarke piece The Eve of St. Agnes as well as work from other 20^th century stained glass artists. Go through the glass doors to enter the Sculpture Hall and galleries 1-9.

At the far end of these galleries is Francis Bacon’s Studio and gallery. The studio and archive presented by John Edwards was relocated to The Hugh Lane in 1998 and opened to the public in 2001. Proceed from the studio through gallery 9 to the new wing, a two story extension which opened in 2006.

One of the permanent exhibitions on the ground floor of the new wing is the Sean Scully room which contains paintings presented by the artist in 2006. You may access the 1st floor by stairs or lift.

After enjoying the gallery’s collections as well as the beautiful architecture of the building, descend the grand staircase from the 1st floor which will return you to the reception area. Why not rest your feet and relax in our café on the basement level which serves tea/coffee and a selection of gourmet food and snacks.
