About the Item
Orlando Greenwood (1892-1989)
Vaupalière

Oil on canvas
17 x 24 inches

Vaupalière is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region of northern France.
Greenwood captures the bleaching light of high summer and sculpts the paint to draw the eye along the furrows of the field. Wonderful paint texture throughout.
Orlando Greenwood was born in Nelson, Lancashire. He studied at Goldsmith's College, London before signing up with the Royal Engineers at the outbreak of the First World War. After the war he began exhibiting in London and achieved considerable success. An account of this period is summed up in the catalogue for the artist's studio sale,
"At this time he was hailed by some critics as ‘undeniably brilliant’ (The Sunday Times), while the Daily Mirror saw the success of his 1925 exhibition at Spinks in London as a ‘triumph’ and ‘…a direct challenge to the ultra-modernists, since Mr Greenwood is in the best tradition of painting’. At this exhibition, Greenwood sold twenty-eight out of thirty works on view, for the then considerable sum of £2,500 – half of them selling within the first half-hour of the show opening. "
