American artist Leon Golub (1922–2004) “occupies a singular position in the history of mid- to late 20th-century art. His devotion to the figure, his embrace of expressionism, his fusion of modern and classical sources, and his commitment to social justice distinguish his practice as an artist.
“The artist’s work has much to teach us in the 21st century, as does his belief in the ethical responsibility of artists.”
