R.B. Kitaj: Obsessions - Analyst for Our Time

R.B. Kitaj (1932-2007) was one of the most significant painters of the post-war period. Together with his friends Francis Bacon, Frank Auerbach and Lucian Freud, he pioneered a new, figurative art which defied the trend in abstraction and conceptualism. This spring Pallant House Gallery and the Jewish Museum London will concurrently present the only UK showing of highlights from the major Berlin retrospective R.B. Kitaj: Obsessions. Subtitled Analyst for our Time the exhibition at Pallant House Gallery will feature over 70 major paintings, sketches and prints including key international loans, presenting an overview of all periods of Kitaj's extensive oeuvre from the 1960s to his death in 2007.
