W.B.YEATS by Jim FitzPatrick
W.B.Yeats was, and still is, my own favourite poet, from ‘Sailing to Byzantium’ to ‘The Lake Isle of Inisfree’ and of course, ’The Song of Wandering Aengus’. I have no personal connection to the great man but I always remember his son Senator Michael Yeats -who looked the absolute spitting image of him -sitting beside us at lunch hour every day in Neary’s Pub, engrossed in his Irish Times. I brought this poster in one day and held it up deliberately so he could see over my shoulder and got a good laugh out of him.
Jim FitzPatrick is a world renowned artist. Best know for the world famous Viva Ché 1968 poster (yes the Ché Guevara image you know well), Thin Lizzy album covers and a lifetime of iconic Celtic Irish art.
