About this product
Product Information
In a world saturated with polychrome printed media and ephemeral digital images, painting has a particular power. It requires a direct experience of the work as a physical object; it offers an encounter with the scale of the canvas and the texture of the paint. And although it is one of our most archaic living cultural practices, it survives successfully alongside art forms such as film, photography and installation, which threatened to eclipse it in recent decades. The paintings in Reality: Modern and Contemporary British Painting testify to this power. The thirty-three artists represented - major twentieth-century figures such as Walter Sickert, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and David Hockney, alongside contemporary painters including Ken Currie, Gwen Hardie, George Shaw, Jenny Saville and Caroline Walker - tackle subjects ranging from the body to relationships, from history and politics to war, and from social issues to the urban environment. Despite this variety, the works are united by two things: a concern with the real and the simple act of painting. Realism - the recognition of what is, rather than what one would like things to be - is a distinct thread in British culture, and the artists in these pages are direct and uncompromising. The harsh realities of everyday life are here for all to see.

- h***i (37)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller kindly got in touch to say the book I ordered did not meet the quality advertised due to being found to be in a poor condition at the packing stage. Unfortuntely no replacement was available and would I like to pick a book of equivalent value from the marketplace - which I did. That book arrived safely and was in the condition advertised. I have used this seller many times before and I am grateful for their quality control decission, rather than send me a damaged book. Will use again.
