EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the study for William Orpen's oil painting "Homage to Manet" from 1906. The artist's meticulous use of watercolor, ink, chalk, and pencil on paper is evident in this work. The scene depicted in the study is set within Orpen's home, where a group of individuals has gathered to listen to the esteemed critic George Moore speak about Édouard Manet. The painting of Eva Gonzales adorns the wall behind them, which was purchased by Sir Hugh Lane with his hand thoughtfully resting on his head. Amongst those present are Philip Wilson Steer and Henry Tonks, both notable figures in the art world at that time. D. S. McColl and Sickert can also be seen engaged in conversation with their hands placed on their lapels. This piece offers us a glimpse into an intimate gathering of artists and intellectuals associated with the New English Art Club. It provides insight into their admiration for Manet as they gather together to discuss his revolutionary contributions to art. Preserved by Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, this artwork showcases Orpen's skillful ability to capture not only physical likeness but also the atmosphere and camaraderie shared amongst these influential figures during this significant period in art history.
