Franciszka and Stefan Themerson

Art historian and Insiders/Outsiders founding director Monica Bohm-Duchen gives a tour of the Barbican Centre’s fascinating exhibition, Postwar Modern: New Art in Britain, 1945-1965. The display brings together art produced in Britain in direct and indirect response to the upheaval and trauma of World War II. Of the artists featured, some are Jewish refugees, such as Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud, Eva Frankfurther, Franciszka Themerson and Gustav Metzger. Read more about Postwar Modern in the Spring 2022 issue of JR.

This talk will be held in conjunction with our partners at Jewish Renaissance.

Tickets are £15 and can be purchased here.
