Description
This volume connects two of the most influential figures in both the Irish cultural scene of the first decades of the Twentieth Century as well as in the art world of that period. Lane’s gallery opened like a thunderclap in Dublin, both inspiring and shocking the Irish cultural world. Quinn, a wealthy Irish American lawyer, not only helped support and publish the most important figures of the Irish Literary Revival, he also built one of the most significant French modern art collections of his day, rivaling that of Lane.
