Description
Light has been a subject of enduring fascination in art since the eighteenth century. This book explores how artists have perceived, illustrated and utilised light in their work.
The exploration begins with J.M.W. Turner's expressive use of colour and interest in evanescent light, which influenced the French Impressionists' focus on capturing the transient effects of sunlight. The book then delves into later innovations in photographic processes and how artists began to use light itself as a medium.
From sublime associations with light to its repositioning as a tool for creating immersive installations, this book reveals the diverse ways artists have worked with light over time, including works by Dan Flavin, James Turrell, Olafur Eliasson and Tacita Dean.
