Moving pictures (de filums) were heavily censored but the state didn’t officially scrutinise other visual art forms. Censure by covert means was the preferred method to control subversive art. Guest: Dr Róisín Kennedy author of Art and the nation state: the reception of modern art in Ireland (2021)

·     Part of the emotional response comes from a sense that modern art is conning us, hoodwinking us. Dr Róisín Kennedy

·     Censorship culture made access to visual art elitist. Dr Róisín Kennedy

·     The production of art in Ireland was directly affected by censorship in that artists produced landscapes as opposed to nudes. Dr Róisín Kennedy
