Online Exhibition | A Modern Eye: Helen Hooker O'Malley's Ireland
Helen Hooker O'Malley © Helen Hooker O'Malley Roelofs Sculpture Trust, University of Limerick
In this online exhibition, discover Helen Hooker O'Malley's love for the landscape, history, and people of Ireland, and why she said “Ireland gave me the greatest outlet towards creative heaven".
Helen Hooker O'Malley gifted over 1,200 of her photographic works to the National Library of Ireland in 1992, the year before her death. Almost all of these works date from the 1970s.
An American by birth, Ireland became Helen’s home following her marriage in 1935 to the Irish writer and revolutionary, Ernie O’Malley. Though their marriage ended in 1952, her love for Ireland remained constant throughout her life.
