Claudia Kinmonth, whose book Irish Rural Interiors in Art, was the inspiration of the current exhibition at the McMullen Museum of Art, will discuss how contrary to earlier assumptions, artists working in Ireland turned to the lives of the country’s rural poor for subject matter. Her talk is on Mar. 21 at 7 p.m. in Devin 101. Sponsors: Lowell Humanities Series and McMullen Museum of Art.
