'Figurative Prints: 1980s Rewind' focuses on an art-historical moment when the figure returned as a dominant subject of artistic expression. Following on the heels of Minimalism and Conceptualism, the resurgence of the figure coincided with a renewed interest in image-making and the sensuality and emotionality of the painted surface. The trend in figuration spanned the globe, but it was especially prominent in the work of American, German and Italian artists who returned to familiar images, including myth, allegory and narrative.
