Postwar Modern: New Art in Britain 1945-1965

Art Gallery

An ambitious and timely reassessment of art produced in Britain during the twenty years after the Second World War, this major exhibition looks at the country in the aftermath of a cataclysmic war that called into question religion, ideology, and humanity itself and the rich artistic imagery, forms, and materials these conditions gave rise to.
