Leon Golub (1922-2004) was a leading exponent of history painting - painting as a narrative, symbolic expression of global, social and political relations and of the realities of power. In this revised and expanded Second Edition of Leon Golub: Echoes of the Real, Jon Bird examines the artist's work from the classically influenced early paintings through depictions of conflict and masculine aggression to the compelling images of the last two decades.
