Publisher's Synopsis
Looking back at the friendships and anecdotes that made up an exciting career, Homan Potterton writes insightfully about his time at the National Gallery of Ireland. From major acquisitions for the National Gallery, to dinner-table conversations with Sir Alfred Beit of the Gallery's famous Beit Wing, there are stories here to delight both lovers of art and of Irish history. A Flash in the Pan offers the kind of first hand insight that makes this a one of a kind memoir, lending a personal element to the last three decades of Irish Art History and politics.
