30 x 21cm, 38pp + 4pp pictorial covers, exhibition catalogue. Le Brocquy's homage to his hero consists of many, many studies worked and reworked from photographs. The results are often comparable to the best of his fellow countryman Bacon's portraits but with a more definite Celtic edginess. 26 b/w reproductions of the studies (most full page) and 1 in full colour (cover image). Short essay by John Montague and a text by the artist as well as biographical details. Striking. Fine condition.
