MIC’s McAuley medal for Stuart
“Imogen Stuart’s unique contribution to the arts in Ireland has been the re-invention and re-invigoration of religious art through a remarkable fusion of early Christian imagery, German Romanesque art and Twentieth Century European Expressionism. Imogen Stuart has been a unifying force in Irish art and, correspondingly, in Irish society itself”.
President of Mary Immaculate College Peadar Cremin’s handsome citation on Stuart. The sculptor was awarded the McAuley medal on Friday 4 last by President Mary McAleese in Limerick.
