Out of the Darkness (1939-1966)

The story of modern art in the words of the artists themselves travels from Bacon's tortured war-inspired images to Hockney's 60s hedonistic freedom.

Second in a series unlocking the 大象传媒 archives to tell the story of modern art in the words of the artists themselves - from the tortured images of Francis Bacon born of the horror of the Second World War to the joyous, sometimes ironical celebration of consumer affluence in the pop art of Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol to the hedonistic freedom of the paintings of David Hockney.
