The iconographical method devised by the German art historian Erwin Panofsky, constitutes, alongside Formalism, one of the two great pillars of art historical interpretation of the twentieth century. Although originally developed as a means to interpret the art of the Italian Renaissance, iconology has proved just as fruitful when applied to the work Northern artists, in particular, the ‘scenes of everyday life’ or genre paintings of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. This dissertation will discuss the iconographical method, tracing its progression from the work of Panofsky to its current form as applied in the interpretation of genre scenes. This will examine some of its crucial features before assessing its strength and weaknesses, in an attempt to evaluate its worth as an interpretative method in the study of genre method.

This study is an ‘in-depth study of the origin, evolution and construction of ABK’s (Ahrends Burton Koralek) Arts and Social Sciences Building at Trinity College Dublin from 1967 to 1978 with an evaluation of its merits and failings to the present day.’ Primary material hitherto unavailable has been examined to ‘provide a detailed account of the context in which the project came about, the internal discussions and the site visits prior to the selection of an architect and the creation of a comprehensive brief.’ ‘The development of ABK’s deep plan is analysed in terms of its responsiveness to the need for identity and sub-units in a large-scale university complex. Critical issues regarding the suitability of a conglomerate building for a university campus are also explored.

The dissertation looks at the work of contemporary Irish artist Caroline McCarthy. The themes and issues that she deals with in the selected works are analysed within a sociological framework. Each work is individually scrutinized with reference to the relevant theory or theories it adheres to. The themes that McCarthy addresses are within the realm of the sociology of consumption. Themes of abundance in contemporary society and irrationality of consumerism in her works is examined first within the framework of theories by Max Weber. Issues such as the illusions of design and the superficiality of consumer culture in McCarthy’s art is examined using theories by Jean Baudrillard, Frederic Jameson and Hall Foster as the foundation for analysis. The consumption of tourism is also explored with theories by Urry, MacCannell and Boorstin constructing the framework for investigation.
