The choice of works is very deliberate with the exhibition broken down into seven
themes: Beauty, Power and Space, which looks at each artist's engagement with the sublime, a
theme central to English Romantic art but which survived through the modernist movement and is a key feature of Twombly's paintings; Atmosphere, which considers the ways in which the three artists paint land and sea through a filter of atmospheric conditions; Naught so Sweet
as Melancholy, named after a phrase in Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, where the
theme of loss and memorialisation are
central concerns; The Seasons which reflects upon the passage of time; Fire and
Water where all three artists evince the power of the elements; The Vital Force which brings together works of a sensual or erotic nature; and finally A Floating World where each artist contemplates mortality and external events that impact on their lives.
