Bacon, Freud, and the School of London at Museo Picasso Málaga
The Museo Picasso Málaga presents 'Bacon, Freud and the School of London,' an exhibition organized by Tate London, running from April 26 to September 17. Featuring 90 works, the show highlights a figurative resistance to conceptual art in post-war London through the intimate, corporeal styles of Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, along with Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, David Bomberg, William Coldstream, R. B. Kitaj, Leon Kossoff, Paula Rego, and Euan Uglow. The term 'School of London' was coined in 1976 to describe this group's focus on the human body and daily life.
