Sculptor Jeanne Rhynhart's creations are coldcast bronze, cast from her original designs. In addition to the famous statue of Molly Malone which graces Grafton Street in Dublin, Jeanne has designed the busts of Dean Swift and Oscar Wilde at the Dublin Writer's Museum, Dublin and a James Joyce bust placed in the New York Public Library. She creates thoughtful interpretations, the brain children of thorough background research as well as imagination and talent.
Bust is approx, 5" tall.
Samuel Beckett (1906 - 1989)
Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin but moved to France and settled in Paris in 1937. He was a close friend to James Joyce and even read to Joyce when the great novelist's eye sight was failing, towards the end of his life. Considered major works in the literature of the absurd, all Beckett's pieces present a comically pessimistic allegory of man's condition. His first works were written in English, but in 1945 he began writing in French and then translating his own work into English. His play WAITING FOR GODOT has puzzled many a theatre goer; although bleak and despairing, the play is also richly humorous, asserting humanity's will to live in spite of everything.
