Exhibition "Aftermath: The War Landscapes of William Orpen"
11 November 2017 - 11 February 2018
|
|
|
In 1917, Irish painter, William Orpen (1878-1931) went to France as an official war artist, serving with the British Army. In his 1921 memoir, An Onlooker in France, Orpen wrote of the horror he had experienced on the Somme. Drawing on this text, as well as Orpen’s own personal letters, this exhibition explores a selection of the artist’s aftermath paintings as expressions of his struggle to comprehend the profound human trauma of the war.
