History Painting Now
6 May-4 Jun 2011
Art Sensus
London SW1P 1BB
Overview
History Painting was the epitome of European art in the 18th and 19th centuries.Patrons and artists used the depiction of both actual events and mythological scenes to articulate the ideology of their culture. With the advent of Modernism however, the genre of History Painting collapsed. But History has returned with a vengeance. History Painting Now, curated by Nick Hackworth, features artists David Birkin, Rokni Haerizadeh and Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin and aims simply to present a variety of recent artistic responses to this unarguable fact.
