In 1976 the great figurative painter and polemicist R.B. Kitaj organized a group exhibition for the Arts Council of Great Britain entitled The Human Clay. To mark the 35th anniversary of Kitaj's seminal exhibition and to celebrate a decade of exhibitions focused on Twentieth Century British figurative art at James Hyman Fine Art, Beyond The Human Clay presents a selection of some of the greatest British artists of the last half century.
The exhibition is accompanied by a new 80 page publication, Beyond the Human Clay, with an essay by James Hyman, and extensive illustrations.
