Bloomsday Re-enacted (RC-GE4)
This painting is my interpretation of the re-enactment of Bloomsday on 16th June 1954/8 ?, when five men got together in Dublin to attempt to trace the steps of some of the characters in Ulysses, on 16th June 1904, from James Joyce’s novel.
The five were Anthony Cronin, writer; Paddy Kavanagh, poet; John Ryan, author and publican; Brian O’Nolan, (aka Myles Na gCopalleen/ Flann O’Brien) comic author and satirist and a dentist named Joyce. This painting is based on a photograph of them taken on Sandymount strand. If you look closely you will spot the five figures by the tower. RTE at the time caught some of the trip on camera.
They, the five, were unable to complete the full tour. ©
This painting is now offered as a giclee print edition of 25, hand signed and numbered by the Artist, sent rolled and ready for framing.
