Did You Know?

1965 was the centenary of the birth of William Butler Yeats, one of Ireland’s greatest poets.

Description

It was in 1965 thatAlen MacWeeney returned from four years in New York City, where he had worked in the studio of portraitist and fashion photographer Richard Avedon. Rather than reflect his American experience in his work, MacWeeney decided to experiment with two quite different sources of inspiration: Yeats’s poetry and what the photographer called “the Ireland of my imagination.”
