About the Item
FINNEGAN’S SLEEP — Original Poster (1986) by David O’Docherty
Bring home a captivating piece of 1980s avant-garde art with FINNEGAN’S SLEEP, an original poster printed in 1986 from a painting by David O’Docherty.
This visually rich composition features a constellation of faces and portraits—interwoven with expressive nude studies—creating a dreamlike mosaic that encourages prolonged viewing and interpretation.
This design is presumed to be a poster related to Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce. The artwork could be taken from the work known as Finnegan's Wake, but that hasn't been confirmed.

• Artist: David O’Docherty (poster printed from his original painting)
• Year of Printing: 1986

The artist, Mr. O’Docherty, saw himself primarily as an artist. He specialized in faces: portraits as well as imaginary people in various scenarios. He also painted landscapes and still lifes. While in Paris, he exhibited at the Galerie Fürstenberg. He also showcased his work at various American venues, including the University of Massachusetts Boston, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Guild Gallery on Martha’s Vineyard, and numerous other galleries.
