And while Bacon belonged to a long and rich tradition of Expressionistic painters, Warhol marked the beginning of a new, more distanced development in contemporary art \u2013 Pop. Both produced meaningful works, however, that are ambiguous, complex and highly influential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this exhibition, key works by Bacon and Warhol will engage in an intelligent dialogue with those by some of the many different painters who have worked on the borderline between these two artistic languages, developing their own vocabularies with an emphasis on the manipulation and transgression of images, creating direct and indirect actions and narratives. They include Jim Dine, Larry Rivers, David Hockney, Miodrag Djuric Dado, Erro, Eduardo Arroyo, Jens Johannessen, Knut Rose, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, J\u00f6rg Immendorf, and Martin Kippenberger, to name just a few. On the one hand, the spectator will be drawn into the seduction of a painterly expression that often adopts a provocative thematic, and on the other, will be challenged by the philosophical approach of artists who distance themselves from their subject matter. The result will be a fascinating exploration of the reach and influence of these two important tendencies in painting \u2013 Expressionism and Pop art \u2013 during the 20th century and beyond.<br><br>In this exhibition, key works by Bacon and Warhol will engage in an intelligent dialogue with those by some of the many different painters who have worked on the borderline between these two artistic languages, developing their own vocabularies with an emphasis on the manipulation and transgression of images, creating direct and indirect actions and narratives.
