Description
Sensations: The Story of British Art from Hogarth to Banksy
Jonathan Jones explores the artistic impulse that has driven British artists from the Enlightenment to the present day. He argues that a passion for precision and careful observation has been a common thread throughout the history of British art.
From the detailed drawings of insects by Robert Hooke to the contemporary works of Damien Hirst, Jones shows how this zeal for observation has shaped the development of Realism, Impressionism, and modern art.
