Made in England.

The article focuses on the painting "A Family" by painter and artist Louis le Brocquy. Brocquy's painting can be seen to refer to the vulnerability of the impoverished family in 1950s Ireland. The stark treatment of its subject also has relevance for contemporary Irish society, which is undergoing a similar and more fundamental adjustment in its attitudes towards the family and the Catholic Church. However, when he painted the work, le Brocquy was based in London and clearly intended it to refer to an aspect of modern experience that would be readily understood by the London public, rather than a specifically Irish audience.
