Description | The American artist Leon Golub (1922–2004) is best known for his iconic history paintings of mercenaries, interrogations, torture scenes and riots of the 1980s and early ’90s. In 2016 Jon Bird curated an exhibition of Golub's political portraits at the National Portrait Gallery and published an accompanying book, which explores the effects of power upon the body through facial expressions, gestures and poses, and invested his figures with psychological tension and depth. |
