Description
-
Painting by Robert Motherwell, entitled after Joyce's novel. The work dates from early in Motherwell's career, painted onto a piece of cardboard attached to part of a wooden crate. Motherwell first read Ulysses while travelling through Europe 1935. Affected by Joyce's style, particularly the stream-of-consciousness guiding artistic expression through innermost thoughts and feelings, Motherwell forever return to Ulysses for creative motivation. He eventually took on the entire novel in a 1980s illustrated edition.
