This painting by Leon Kossoff is included in a group exhibition titled “Radical Figures: Post-war British Figurative Painting” at  Manchester Art Galleries, UK. The exhibition puts focus on the resurgence of figurative art in the latter half of the 20th century, due in part to painters such as Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, David Hockney and Leon Kossoff. 

To learn more about the exhibition, visit the Manchester Art Gallery website.

Many of the artists included in this exhibition were shown early on at L.A. Louver in this 1979 group exhibition titled “This Knot of Life.”  See works from this exhibition on our website.
