Aantekening
Seumas O’Brien (1880-1959) was a Cork-born sculptor, dramatist, fabulist, and painter. He taught art in Cork and Dublin for several years and exhibited his work at the Royal Hibernian Academy before emigrating to San Francisco in 1913. He wrote several plays (mostly with storylines connected to events in the Irish Revolution) which were staged in the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. O’Brien was also acquainted with several leading figures in the Irish literary revival including William Butler Yeats and Padraic Colum.
