Portrait of James Joyce (1934) – Irish Art Print

Jacques-Émile Blanche's 1934 Portrait of James Joyce as an archival print — the author of Ulysses caught by the great society portraitist of literary Paris.

Blanche made a career painting the writers and artists of his era — Proust, Cocteau, and here Joyce, around the time he was living the itinerant, broke, brilliant expatriate life that produced Ulysses. His portraits favour restraint over flattery, which is why this one still feels like a real person rather than an icon.

A characterful literary portrait for a study, library or reading room — and an obvious gift for a Joyce or Ulysses devotee.
