Five Centuries of British Painting
Author: Andrew Wilton
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780500203491
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
"Britain has played a key part in the history of the last five centuries, and its art reflects this in absorbing and complex ways. Andrew Wilton, Keeper and Senior Research Fellow at Tate Britain, traces the story of British painting from its hesitant beginnings under the influence of Holbein through its maturity in the time of Hogarth and Reynolds, when it reflected a prosperous society with growing imperial influence. He then explores the pioneering role of Constable and Turner in the revolutions of the Romantic period, and the enigmatic position of artists in Victorian England, when a stiff moral code came into conflict with the uncertainties of the age of Darwin. A consistent undercurrent has been Britain's preference for the real world (landscape, portraiture) as against 'high' art and abstraction. Andrew Wilton offers new insights into the great personalities of British painting, and assesses afresh the latest flowering, in which many threads of modern art come together in sometimes startling guises."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
This book reveals how books have been illustrated over the centuries. The artwork is elaborate and often dramatic. Sometimes the drawings surround portions of text, or the text is entirely encircled by artwork. Surely this kind of work was intricate and time consuming. Now we can enjoy the immense beauty displayed in books created and printed hundreds of years ago. Modern books are not done in similar fashion.
