Samuel Beckett Photographs

The Irish photographer John Minihan first met Samuel Beckett in May 1980, and was to photograph him many times thereafter in both Paris and London, a privilege afforded to very few. Impossible to interview and famously camera-shy, Beckett was nevertheless a remarkable photographic subject, with his wise, eagle-like face which reflected his greatness and profundity as a writer. This is a collection of Beckett portraits.
