The definitive scholarly monograph on Power's life and work, by art historian Judith Hill. Drawing on family archives, museum collections, and original research, this is the most comprehensive account of Power's career yet published.

The book contains a full catalogue of known works, extensive illustration from museum and family collections, and a scholarly reassessment of Power's place in the history of Irish art. Essential reading for anyone interested in his work or in the sculptural culture of early twentieth-century Ireland.
