Description
This is an original offset lithograph poster printed in 1986 from the painting by renowned artist David O’Docherty. FINNEGAN’S SLEEP is a visually rich composition that presents a captivating constellation of faces, portraits, and expressionist nude studies interwoven into a dreamlike mosaic. The design is presumed to be inspired by James Joyce’s literary masterpiece Finnegan’s Wake, though this connection has not been formally confirmed.
The artwork encourages prolonged viewing and interpretation, rewarding the viewer with layers of expressive imagery and psychological depth characteristic of O’Docherty’s portrait-focused practice.
David O’Docherty (1935–2010) was a dedicated figurative artist who specialized in portrait work, both realistic and imaginary. His practice extended to landscapes and still lifes. While based in Paris, he exhibited at the prestigious Galerie Fürstenberg and later showcased his work throughout the United States at venues including the University of Massachusetts Boston, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Guild Gallery on Martha’s Vineyard, and numerous galleries nationwide.
