Description
Looking Out: A Century and a Half of Welsh Painting This collection of six essays provides a comprehensive narrative of Welsh painting from the past 150 years. Peter Lord's work challenges traditional views by exploring the connections between Welsh painters and artists in other parts of Europe and the United States. Through his analysis, Lord sheds new light on the concerns and experiences of Welsh painters, revealing their pictures to be part of a broader Western art historical narrative. This book offers a fresh perspective on the history of Welsh painting, one that is grounded in detailed research and confident argumentation. By examining the domestic and international contexts of Welsh painting, Lord validates the work of these artists within the wider arts of other Western cultures.
