This summer, the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath have their exhibition Freud, Minton, Ryan: unholy trinity, running from 10 July-19 September 2021. The exhibition celebrates the life and works of Adrian Ryan (1920-1998) and his friends John Minton (1917-1957) and Lucian Freud (1922-2011).
Dreweatts are pleased to sponsor the virtual tour of the exhibition. You can now view the exhibition from the comfort of your home. Simply move around the exhibition space and click on the icons to learn more!
In the tight community of the art world of pre-war London, the three artists were colleagues and friends. As ambitious figurative painters with – at first – hopeful and promising career trajectories, all three explored a relaxed intimacy behind closed doors, especially during the war years.
After Minton's suicide Ryan and Freud drifted apart, which may have contributed towards the significance of the lonely figure in their work. This theme will be explored in the exhibition alongside the three artists’ developing practise, from some of their earliest paintings up to Minton's death in 1957.
