"Nighttown" by Heather Ryan Kelley 88” x 54" Painting
About the Item
Nighttown, oil on canvas, 1991, 88” x 54" by Heather Ryan Kelley.
This painting is based upon James Joyce's "Ulysses." The modernist novel takes place on a single day, 16 June, 1904 in Dublin, Ireland. In 'Circe' the hallucinatory 15th chapter, central protagonists Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus visit Nighttown, the red light district where they encounter prostitutes Zoe, Kitty and Florry, (the Three Graces) in Madame Cohen's brothel.
The colors on top derives from a recurrent motif of the rainbow the seven colors ROY G. BIV-- in Joyce's late works Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.
The cane is Stephen's ash plant, which he brandishes, crashing a chandelier in the brothel toward the end of the Nighttown chapter.
The rest of the items relate to Bloom:
Teapot -Bloom's conversation with Mrs Breen.
Key-in Bloom's pocket.
Potato-Zoe steals his talismanic potato.
Clock- 4:30 time of Molly's appointment with Hugh 'Blazes' Boylan.
Soap -Bloom bought it at Sweny's lemon soap it speaks.
Fan-the Madame, Bella Cohen's fan speaks.
Great for you English majors and Irish publicans.
