Cortege
Cortège (Procession) was purchased immediately upon
its completion at Finis atelier in Paris by William Copley (1916
- 1996) an American Surrealist painter of sweetly risqué images
of naked women with men in starchy Edwardian suits. An orphan, he was
adopted by Ira C. Copley, the wealthy owner of 16 newspapers. William
attended Yale University and worked briefly as a reporter for The San
Diego Tribune. Cortège presages the style and subject matter Leonor Fini further explored in her 1966 illustrations for Gustav Flauberts Tentation de St. Antoine. |
