Anne Madden
A tribute to one of Ireland's most important painters.
Anne Madden
Anne Madden is one of Ireland's foremost contemporary painters. Of Irish/Anglo-Chilean origin, she is also highly regarded in France where, with her husband, artist Louis le Brocquy, she has spent much of the last forty years. This book presents a selection of her works from the 1960s to the present, which can be found in the collection of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, accompanied by the text of a lecture entitled "Painting and Reality" which the artist gave as part of the IMMA Winter Lecture, in 2007.
Seeing His Way
Born in Dublin in 1916, Louis le Brocquy's paternal grandfather came to Ireland from Belgium. His mother was a well-known figure in Dublin's artistic life and, encouraged by her, Louis left the family business to become a painter. In 1947 le Brocquy established himself in London as a self-taught artist of considerable originality. In 1958 he married the young Irish painter, Anne Madden, the author of this book. They live and work in France and Ireland.

It is dedicated to Beckett’s longtime friend and publisher Barney Rosset. Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) was a playwright, poet and novelist whose work has had a formative influence on 20th century culture. Born in Foxrock, Ireland, he moved to Paris after an abortive attempt at being an academic. Yea...
The Táin
The Táin Bó Cuailnge, centre-piece of the eighth-century Ulster cycle of heroic tales, is Ireland's greatest epic. It tells the story of a great cattle-raid, the invasion of Ulster by the armies of Medb and Ailill, queen and king of Connacht, and their allies, seeking to carry off the great Brown Bull of Cuailnge. The hero of the tale is Cuchulainn, the Hound of Ulster, who resists the invaders single-handed while Ulster's warriors lie sick. Thomas Kinsella presents a complete and living version of the story. His translation is based on the partial texts in two medieval manuscripts, with eleme...
