Rory Breslin (b.1963) WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, 2014 bronze; (no. 2 from an edition of 5) signed on left side The first example from this edition can be found in The Academy of Letters in New Dehli. It was presented by Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Mr Charlie Flanagan, to the Indian Ambassador as a reciprocal gesture for the bust of Yeats' friend, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), the Indian National poet and Nobel Laureate installed in St. Stephen's Green 2011. The bust is modelled on the series of photographs by George Charles Beresford taken in July 1911 - a pivotal year for Yeats - who worked as a photographic portraitist in Knightsbridge, London. Academics contend that Yeats' work post-1911 was strongly influenced by Ezra Pound - who he met that year - becoming more Modern in its concision and imagery. 1911 was also the year he met his future wife "Georgie" Hyde Lees and accompanied the Abbey Players on tour in the USA. 24.25 by 19.50 by 11.50in.
