Description
A fresh perspective on British landscape art in the post-war period, this study by Margaret Garlake challenges traditional histories and expands our understanding of the genre. By incorporating both rural and urban subjects, Garlake places the work within the context of physical changes wrought by post-war society.
The book draws together a range of artists' works, including those of women, to provide a more nuanced view of this fascinating period in British art history. Carefully researched and subtly argued, it offers new insights into how artists responded to the landscape as a site of both tradition and modernity.
