William Orpen, an Outsider in France
William Orpen (1878-1931) was in 1917 appointed as an official war artist in France.

Dopo aver frequentato l’Accademia di Belle Arti, nel suo praticare Musei e mostre di Arte, al Palazzo Reale di Milano fece il suo primo incontro diretto con l'arte astratta e decise che mai avrebbe percorso una strada simile, rivolgendo piuttosto la sua attenzione al Medioevo e ai cicli legati al volgere delle stagioni, una ricerca continuata per anni con soddisfazione, da cui sono scaturite opere che hanno trovato un grande apprezzamento...
