This roll-call of British artists confirms the dominance and
excellence of British art across five centuries, from Blake
toBanksy, Turner to Tracey Emin. This highly readable and
informative collection of the best of British art showcases
magnificent portraits by Thomas Gainsborough and Stanley Spencer;
landscapes by J. M. W. Turner and David Hockney; satire by William
Hogarth and Gilbert & George; sculpture by Henry Moore and
Rachel Whiteread; and the latest works by Grayson Perry and Damien
Hirst. Each artist is presented in a double-page spread that
features a major work, details from the work, a brief biography and
fascinating insights into the artist's life and times. Lucinda
Hawksley's engaging survey compares the skill of the Elizabethan
miniaturists and the magnificence of the High Victorians with the
grit of post-war British modernists and the best of the Young
British Artists, whose fearless approach to controversial themes
make them worthy inheritors of the great traditions of British art.
