Edward McGuire’s portrait (1974) of Seamus Heaney was commissioned early in the poet’s career. Heaney later said that he admired ‘the gathered-up, pent-up, head-on quality' in his portrait.
Inspired by a photograph by Boris Lipnitski, this work by David Atkinson depicts writer James Joyce. See it on display in our current exhibition, 'What’s in Store'.
