The definitive account of an extraordinary art work and its creation.

Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) February 08, 2009 - Our new book, The People's Gallery, is a tour through history with special emphasis on the sixties that gave rise to the struggle for civil rights in Northern Ireland. It is, as far a we are concerned. a true reflection of our lives in our own words as well as an historical document offering unique insights into a very unique place - Derry, N.Ireland. It has many rare photos, the most splendid of which are of the murals themselves. We tell where our paintings came from, what inspired them, how they were actually made and the histories associated with them. We show how N.Ireland, despite its size and location sits squarely in an epoque of global political conflict and radiates with many of the democratic and spiritual issues that animated it. We are proud of this book and recommend it to all who are interested in truth and its survival. You can order from our website http://www.bogsideartists.com.
