Warts and All: Tate Britain’s exhibition 'All Too Human' explores a Century of Painting Life in Britain
13 Jul, 2018
The crisis post Second World War forms the backdrop to Tate Britain’s exploration of a century of painting the human experience. It’s also at the heart of Martin Gayford’s book 'Modernists and Mavericks', in which he describes vividly the friendships and rivalries that defined the London art scene in the middle decades of the 20th century.
The Palazzo Venier was intended as a testimony to the power and wealth of a great Venetian family in 1750, but the commission was abandoned with only one story complete.
