Overview
What you will study
- Roughly chronologically we shall explore dominant tendencies and movements, beginning with mature artistic trends that were achieving an international audience, such as the expressive figuration of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud (sometimes called ‘The School of London’) as well as the abstract Constructionism of Victor Pasmore and Kenneth Martin.
- We shall then investigate the art of the burgeoning youth culture, such as New Generation Sculpture, Op, Pop and the rise of conceptual art.
- This Unruly Britannia - The Brit Art Renaissance of 1945-1970 course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art will not only consider notable painters and sculptors within these groups but will also explore the expanded cultural field as well as the institutions, educators and gallerists who propelled them into the international limelight and helped British post-Second World War and contemporary art gain the prominence and international influence that continues today.
