Book excerpt: Now in his late 70s, Leon Golub is a leading exponent of history painting - painting as a narrative, symbolic expression of global, social and political relations and of the realities of power. In this book, published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition traveling to Ireland, England and the United States, Jon Bird examines the artist's work from the classically influenced early paintings through depictions of conflict and masculine aggression to compelling images of the last two decades. Despite the widespread critical attention his work has received, the range and extent of his practice and its complex interweaving of the iconographic traditions of both high and popular art have not been properly examined. As a history painter, Golub is acutely aware of the antecedents to his own imagery and symbolism; part of Jon Bird's critical project is to track and define the artist's relationship to modernism. Making a case for Golub's practice of "critical realism" that also takes account of the unconscious, Bird focuses on two themes that dominate Golub's work: how his art figures the body as a sign for social and psychic identity, and what might be termed the symbolic expression of social space.

Book excerpt: This survey catalogue of the American figurative painter, his first in London since 2000, highlights key aspects of the artist's oeuvre from the 1950s until his death in 2004.Golub's paintings from the 1950s depict universal images of man and reference the classical figure found in antiquity, while his highly political series of the 1970s and 1980s draws on the Vietnam War, American foreign policy and the rise of paramilitary soldiers in places such as South Africa and Latin America.His work from the 1990s incorporates slogans, text, graffiti and symbols into dystopian scenes of urban existence.Throughout his career Golub was guided by his belief that art should have relevance. His works are profoundly psychological and emotive - often painted on a huge scale - and return again and again to themes of oppression, violence and the misuse of power.This publication features a conversation between Helaine Posner, Katy Kline, Leon Golub and Nancy Spero.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Leon Golub: Bite Your Tongue at Serpentine Gallery, London, 4 March - 17 May 2015.
