Description
The Sea by Philip Hoare explores how artists have seen the sea as a mirror of their anxieties and desires. From creation myth to economic wealth, from mystic wonder to modern exploitation, the sea has shifted in meaning over time. This book reframes artworks within Britain's national collection of art, examining the social and political perspectives behind them. Prize-winning author Philip Hoare shows how art has continually borne witness to the power and allure of the sea, shedding new light on some of the most well-known works in the Tate collection. By looking again at these artworks, we can gain a deeper understanding of our relationship with the sea and its role in shaping our culture.
