Art Installation: Somme Centenary
After visiting the Somme battlefield in 1917, Irish-born artist William Orpen recalled, “The dreary dismal mud was baked white and pure — dazzling white. White daisies, red poppies and a blue flower, great masses of them, stretched for miles and miles. The sky was a pure dark blue, and the whole air … thick with white butterflies.”
This quotation will form the basis for an art installation at the Ulster Museum.
Drop into Discover Art between 10am and 4.30pm and contribute to the evolving installation.
