‘Landscape’ is a long established genre in art. This paper will consider the change in representational strategies across the last hundred years, and whether such a term continues to be relevant as a thematic category in the light of contemporary approaches to space and place, and where the defining boundaries can lie. Taking Irish art as a case study, and relating it to the shifting themes and issues over the period as Ireland moved from a newly independent, protectionist state to a globalised society, it is hoped to open an ongoing discussion on comparative visual agendas in Ireland and Tasmania/Australia, including the impact of historical connections between the two territories.
