by Daniel Farson

Farson photographed painter Lucian Freud (1922-2011) and writer Brendan Behan (1923-64) in Dublin, a year after Freud had won the Arts Council prize at the Festival of Britain (1951) but before Behan was 'discovered beyond the city'.
Farson found Dublin to be 'even more carefree than Soho' and on the suggestion of Freud's friend John Ryan, he had an extended visit documenting Behan, financed, although never published by, Picture Post.
