Visual Representations of the Great Famine, 1845-2010

Valérie Morrison

Abstrak

From the mid 1840s to the present day, the unrepresentability of the Famine has repeatedly been stressed regardless of a rich and homogenous iconography. This paradox can be explained differently according to time periods. Our analysis will therefore focus successively on 19th-century press illustrations, paintings and contemporary public or independent commemorative works influenced by trauma studies. Emphasizing iconographic continuity, this study demonstrates that visual representations of the Famine are filtered through political, social, and cultural interpretation grids but also shaped by changing visual codes and techniques.
