Life in Motion: |
||||
24 May – 23 September 2018 |
||||
Life in Motion combines the work of radical Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele (1890 – 1918) and American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958 – 1981), exploring the remarkable ability of these artists to capture and suggest movement in order to create dynamic, extraordinary compositions that highlight the expressive nature of the human body. |
||||
The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see a large number of Schiele's drawings in the North of England, bringing attention to the artist's technical virtuosity, distinctive vision and unflinching depictions of the human figure. |
||||
Working at the other end of the 20th century, Woodman's photographs help to refocus perceptions of Schiele's work, highlighting how his practices and ideas continue to have a relevance to contemporary art. The exhibition will include images from Woodman's My House Series, Providence, Rhode Island, 1976 and her Eel Series, Roma, May 1977 - August 1978. |
