Black and white photograph of Samuel Beckett taken by John Minihan in Paris in 1985 with the written caption ‘Samuel Beckett photographed near his home on Boulevard St Jacques, Paris, 1985.’
Samuel Beckett grew up in Foxrock, but spent most of his life in Paris, where he is here captured near his home on the Boulevard St. Jacques. Beckett is most famous for his minimalist plays, often laced with dark humour, like Waiting for Godot and Endgame. The man who took this photograph, John Minihan, is an engaging figure who recalls his youth with a puckish twinkle.
