Liam O'Flaherty (1896-1984) was an Irish novelist and considered one of the foremost socialist writers in the first part of the 20th century. Artist and writer likely met in the mid-1920s through their associations with their avant-garde circles, such as The Radical Club and the Radical Painters' Group.
