Louis le Brocquy met Samuel Beckett through Con Levanthal, Beckett's professor at Trinity College. They formed a close friendship in Paris until Beckett's death in 1989. Anne Cremin writes that 'Louis le Brocquy has been attracted to Beckett's remarkable face and has created haunting images of Beckett' (Sam on Art, The Sunday Tribune, 22 September 1985).
