Singapore Art from the 1950s – 1970s | Jeffrey Say

The Padang Sessions

In this episode, art historian Jeffrey Say explores one of the most important phases in the development of Singapore’s modern art history—the 1950s to the 1970s. This period saw the emergence of distinctive movements like the Nanyang Style, visual imagery that drew from the lives and struggles of the common people, and the first sculpture show in Singapore.

This session was held in July 2017 at National Gallery Singapore.
