The exhibit focuses on the art works of Europeans Francis Bacon, Balthus Klossowski de Rola, Jean Dubuffet, Alberto Giacometti, and Giorgio Morandi.  Although the five Europeans share no common aesthetic, they are united by their prominence as Europeans artists, their recognition as artists after World War II, and their "metaphors of human plight" and existentialism which is discretely expressed through their art.
