GREAT BRITAIN ART SCENE The art scene in Great Britain turn

In the early 1950s, a group of social realist painters emerged under the name the Kitchen Sink School, and they acquired this name by selecting drab and sordid subject matter. The chief exponents of this type of painting were John Bratby and Jack Smith, Edward Middleditch, and Derrick Greaves. These artists showed in their selection of subject matter and their violently aggressive technique a new expression of the post-war mood of the "angry young men" of the nation. This mood did not last beyond the mid-fifties, for then the movement known as Pop Art developed out of seminars held at the I.C.A. by the Independence Group under the leadership of critic Laurence Alloway and architectural writer Reyner Banham. Pop art arrived in the 1961 exhibition "The Young Contemporaries" with works by Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton, Joe Tilson, and Peter Blake. They would be followed by Kitai, Hockney, Boshier, Richard Smith, and Allen Jones (Osborne 82-83).
