Original artwork description:
Artwork representing the portrait of Samuel Barclay Beckett (Dublin, April 13, 1906 - Paris, December 22, 1989), executed entirely in pencil in figurative expressionist style, inspired by my admiration for the well-known Irish writer, considered among the most influential of the twentieth century. "Beautifully mad Irishman", remembered above all for his masterpiece "Waiting for Godot"(1952), but he was also a playwright, poet, translator and screenwriter, as well as a complex author also in the field of radio, television and film. " He "radiated sensuality" from his myopic blue eyes framed by his metallic spectacles. He worshipped the egocentric James Joyce, who was for him a parent, a teacher and a ruler. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969, but did not go to collect it because of his reluctance to public exposure.
