George Moore In Dublin.
​
24th February was George Moore’s birthday and we celebrated in a big way on 23rd when we held the George Moore Day at the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin. This was a most enjoyable day when GM’s connections with Dublin featured, especially his links with people, with art generally, and with art connected to the gallery, as also with music, and creative life in the city during his sojourn in Ely Place. The event was fully booked but additional chairs were added to allow extra attendance for the talks and for a wonderful live piano recital by the renowned Una Hunt in the gallery’s very elegant surroundings. The GMA is most grateful to Dr O’Donnell and the gallery for the opportunity to highlight the artistic riches of a time, a place, and an author. Some pictures and reportage (including the day’s programme) on '12th Conference and Hugh Lane Seminar' page.
