History of British Art

Graham-Dixon is an art critic & author. In this thrilling journey through the British visual imagination, he argues decisively against the preconception that the British are not a visual people. Starting with a revelatory account of the almost unknown masterpieces of the Catholic Middle Ages, he celebrates the beauty & brilliance of Britain's artistic heritage -- from Thomas Gainsborough to Damien Hirst, William Hogarth to David Hockney, John Constable to Henry Moore. Embracing not only painting & sculpture, but also history, politics, architecture, & literature. he writes with one simple aim: to help myself & others to understand & love British art a little bit more.Ó 100+ color illus.Graham-Dixon, Andrew is the author of 'History of British Art' with ISBN 9780756760076 and ISBN 0756760070.
