In the 1950s and 1960s there was a radical return to figuration in art, inspired by an increased fascination with popular culture and mass-produced images.
Pop and the Figure brings together works by artists including Peter Blake, Richard Hamilton, Jann Haworth, and Colin Self whose approach to the figure encapsulated the spirit of an era through themes such as celebrity, social liberation, the threat of nuclear war, and the seductive imagery of advertising.
