Bacon, Freud, Souza and Mehta



Bacon, Freud, Souza and Mehta


31st August 2007 - 19th September 2007


At Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi.


We are pleased to bring you Bacon, Freud, Mehta, Souza as the second in our programme of International Art exhibitions at our premises in New Delhi. Starting in the spring of 2006 with a show of perhaps the very father of Modern Art, Picasso, this next exhibition progresses to look at those who were in many ways indebted to his legacy, four of the masters of Post-war 20th Century painting. Though contrasting in their cultural backgrounds, as Toby Treves discusses in his essay for this catalogue, these painters are in many ways connected through their artistic beginnings and their response to a London ravished by war, each respectively exposing through their work the anxieties and fears of Man in the shadow of its aftermath.
