Opis

In 1950s Britain landscape representation was a site of profound instability. In an analysis of paintings, sculpture, photography, fashion journalism, artists' biographies, and the multi-media stage of the national exhibition, Catherine Jolivette explores the shifting concept of landscape as it intersects with a variety of discourses including the role of women, the status of immigrant artists, developments in science and technology, and the promotion of British art and culture abroad.
