A Reluctant Memoir

Robert Ballagh

4.9/5 (25060 ratings)

Description:Making his name as a Pop artist in the late 1960s and 70s, Robert Ballagh quickly achieved an international reputation. With little formal artistic training, he triumphed in his field despite often formidable hostility. His work was also strikingly topical and political, playing with classic images by Goya or Delacroix to express outrage about the situation in Northern Ireland.But it is his series of realistic portraits of writers, politicians and fellow artists - often searingly inquisitive and moving in equal measure- that have won him lasting fame. His subjects include Brian Friel, Seamus Heaney, Samuel Beckett, Francis Crick, Harold Pinter and Fidel Castro. And his remarkable self-portraits unsparingly document the process of his own aging. This is also a story of Ireland over the past sixty years, its violence, hypocrisy and immobility as well as its creativity and generosity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
