While most famously associated with numerous mid-century
architects, Brutalism was a style of visual art that was also
adopted by painters, sculptors, printmakers, and photographers.
Taking into account Brutalist work by eminent artists such as
Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi, as well as lesser-known
practitioners like Nigel Henderson and Magda Cordell , this volume
focuses on a ten-year period between 1952 and 1962 when artists
refused a programmatic set of aesthetics and began experimenting
with images that had no set focal point, using non-traditional
materials like bombsite debris in their work, and producing objects
that were characterized by wit and energy along with anxiety,
trauma, and melancholia. This original study offers insights into
how Brutalism enabled British artists of the mid-20th century to
respond ethically and aesthetically to the challenges posed by the
rise of consumer culture and unbridled technological progress.
Published in association with the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in
British Art
