Description
The Shape of Things: Still Life in Britain explores the often-overlooked genre of still life in British art, revealing its significance in the country's modern art movements. From the Seven & Five Society to YBAs, this book examines how still life has been used to tackle profound themes such as identity, migration, consumerism, existentialism, and climate change.
Featuring contributions from leading art historians and curators, this publication presents a fresh perspective on British art, shedding light on the ways in which still life has been used to experiment with new forms and ideas. With an exhibition schedule at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, from May to October 2024, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in modern British art.
