Cosmopolis: Artists of the School of London (1964)

“The basic idea which this exhibition has been designed to illustrate is that there has been, during the period since the last war, something which might be called a ‘School of London’, in a sense which recalls the Ecole de Paris of the 1920s and 30s’s” – A formative usage of the term later popularized by R.B. Kitaj to describe a group of postwar figurative painters in London. Kitaj is represented in this exhibition by two works. Other artists include Stefan Knapp, Henry Inlander, Klaus Frideberger, Avinash Chandra. Condition: Some light spotting to covers, otherwise very good.
