RC-GE4 Bloomsday 1954 - (5)

Bloomsday Re-enacted

 

This painting is my interpretation of the re-enactment of Bloomsday on 16th June 1958, 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.

 

They were unable to complete the full tour. ©
