During the years following World War II debates about the British
landscape fused with questions of national identity as the country
reconstructed its sense of self. For better or for worse artists,
statesmen, and ordinary citizens saw themselves reflected in the
landscape, and in turn helped to shape the way that others
envisioned the land. While landscape art is frequently imagined in
terms of painting, this book examines the role of landscape in
terms of a broader definition of visual culture to include the
discussion not only of works of oil on canvas, but also prints,
sculpture, photography, advertising, fashion journalism, artists'
biographies, and the multi-media stage of the national exhibition.
Making extensive use of archival materials (newspaper reviews,
radio broadcasts, interviews with artists, letters and exhibition
planning documents), Catherine Jolivette explores the intersection
of landscape art with a variety of discourses including the role of
women in contemporary society, the status of immigrant artists in
Britain, developments in science and technology, and the promotion
of British art and culture abroad.
