The Radical Club was founded by Liam O'Flaherty with a circle of artistic and literary figures in Dublin in 1925.
O'Flaherty with Cecil Ffrench Salkeld sent out invitations proposing this new club and its inaugural meeting during the summer of 1925.
[1] Co-founding members with O'Flaherty included Austin Clarke, Brinsley MacNamara, Padraig Ó Conaire, and Francis Stuart.
A wider circle of artists exhibited with the Club, such as Margaret Clarke, Paul Henry, Seán Keating, May Guinness, Norah McGuinness, Albert Power, Nano Reid, Oliver Sheppard, and Jack B. Yeats.
[2][4][5] Exhibitions were held under the name Radical Painters' Group,[2] a subgroup of the Club of which Patrick Trench served as secretary.
