William Orpen: Method and Mastery (2019)

Published to coincide with the opening of our latest exhibition William Orpen: Method & Mastery, this accompanying publication features six essays that explore the dynamic and evolving artistic practice of one of Britain’s most innovative portrait painters. Each chapter considers key works from throughout the course of Orpen’s career, questioning how these arresting and distinctive works provide perceptible traces of the artist’s training, influences, techniques and materials – the combination of which was key to his success. Condition: very good.
