Bare Life
Bacon, Freud, Hockney and others. London artists working from life 1950-80
Between 1950 and 1980, a pioneering group of painters, began pursuing new directions in figurative art, investing representations of the human body with unprecedented expressiveness and depth and seeking to capture more accurately the truth of human existence. At the core were a few known as the School of London artists, but "Bare Life" also focuses on a wider circle with similar aspirations.
description
"Bare Life" illuminates the themes that characterise the movement, placing more than one hundred representative artworks in context with drawings, documents and photographs that demonstrate important influences. The book explores throughout the constantly changing processes, as well as the close connections – both personal and professional – between many of the artists, together
with friendships with other well-known artists, from Marcel Duchamp to Willem de Kooning. Essays by specialist authors include Collin Wiggins of the National Gallery, London, and Lee Hallman of City University of New York, who writes on modern British art for "The Burlington".
