Art Deco British symbolist painting 'Triune' by Robert Arthur Wilson

By Robert Arthur Wilson

Located in Petworth, West Sussex

Wilson's exploration of colour abstraction was groundbreaking and played a pivotal role in establishing him as one of the most promising artists of his time. His innovative approach to colour abstraction is evident not only in the portrayal of the sky but also in the overall composition of this piece.
