Arguing in favour of renewed critical attention to the 'nation' as
a category in art history, this study examines the intertwining of
art theory, national identity and art production in Britain from
the early eighteenth century to the present day. The book provides
the first sustained account of artwriting in the British context
over the full extent of its development and includes new analyses
of such central figures as Hogarth, Reynolds, Gilpin, Ruskin, Roger
Fry, Herbert Read, Art & Language, Peter Fuller and Rasheed
Araeen. Mark A. Cheetham also explores how the 'Englishing' of art
theory-which came about despite the longstanding occlusion of the
intellectual and theoretical in British culture-did not take place
or have effects exclusively in Britain. Theory has always travelled
with art and vice versa. Using the frequently resurgent discourse
of cosmopolitanism as a frame for his discourse, Cheetham asks
whether English traditions of artwriting have been judged
inappropriately according to imported criteria of what theory is
and does. This book demonstrates that artwriting in the English
tradition has not been sufficiently studied, and that 'English Art
Theory' is not an oxymoron. Such concerns resonate today beyond
academe and the art world in the many heated discussions of
resurgent Englishness.
