Image description

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright, literary critic, and socialist propagandist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925. The playwright eventually allowed Moody to paint this study for the Malvern Festival group portrait in 1938 but on his arrival Shaw told him, ‘I’m afraid I shall not be able to sit – Mussolini has let me down. I had counted on him not persecuting the Jews. This morning’s paper tells me he has done so and I must re-write the last act of Geneva in time for the cast to learn it for tonight’s performance.’
