A Conversation with Curators from the National Gallery
This special exhibition creates a dialogue between works of art from different periods. Still lifes, self-portraits and portraits, abstract and representational works come together, as do various media: painting meets photography, and sculpture meets printmaking. This gives rise to new perspectives and fascinating comparisons.
