Description
Henry Scott Tuke: A Study of an Artistic Anomaly The British painter Henry Scott Tuke RA (1858-1929) is a complex figure in the world of art. His depictions of sun, sea, and sailing during a late Victorian and Edwardian golden age are renowned for their vivid palette and loose impressionistic handling. Yet, he was also an academic painter of exhibition nudes, which has led to questions about his artistic identity. This study features new research from leading authorities on Victorian and Edwardian art, tackling topics such as the influence of progressive plein airism, experimental art practice, and the varied reception history of Tuke's work. The book explores the challenges posed by Tuke's repeated portrayal of adolescent male nudes, raising questions about the depiction, exhibition, and reception of the body - especially the young body. Published in association with a major exhibition at Watts Gallery, Surrey, this book offers a fresh perspective on an artist whose reputation has been subject to changing attitudes over time.
