In 1924 author Liam O’Flaherty and his brother Tom founded the short-lived Radical Club, known for its “anti-W. B. Yeats” denouements. The painter Cecil ffrench Salkeld (future father-in-law of Brendan Behan) was also a member, and it was possibly he who arranged the subsidiary Radical Painters’ Group, with which Kernoff exhibited in 1926. It was therefore likely through Salkeld that artist and sitter first met. Kernoff is known to have painted several portraits of O’Flaherty, exhibiting such in 1929, 1931, 1933, and again in the 1963 Oireachtas exhibition.
