This edited collection re-examines the relationship between art and
the sea, reflecting growing interest in the intersections between
art and maritime history. Artists have always been fascinated by
and drawn to the sea and this book considers some of the themes and
approaches in art that have evolved as a result of this
captivation. The chapters consider how an examination of art can
provide new insights into existing knowledge of port and maritime
history, and are representative of a 'cultural turn' in port and
maritime studies, which is becoming increasingly visible. In Art
and the Sea, multiple perspectives are offered as a result of the
contributors' individual positions and methodologies: some
museological, others art historical or maritime-historical. Each
chapter proposes a new way of building upon available
interpretations of port and maritime history: whether this be to
reject, support or reconsider existing knowledge. The book as a
whole is a timely addition, therefore, to the developing body of
revisionist texts in port and maritime history. The
interdisciplinary nature of the volume relates to a current trend
for interdisciplinarity in art history and will appeal to those
with an interest in art history, geography, sociology, history and
transport / maritime studies.
