Taking an interdisciplinary approach that looks at film,
television, and commercial advertisements as well as more
traditional media such as painting, The Tiger in the Smoke provides
an unprecedented analysis of the art and culture of post-war
Britain. Art historian Lynda Nead presents fascinating insights
into how the Great Fogs of the 1950s influenced the newfound
fashion for atmospheric cinematic effects. She also discusses how
the widespread use of color in advertisements was part of an
increased ideological awareness of racial differences. Tracing the
parallel ways that different media developed new methods of
creating images that variously harkened back to Victorian ideals,
agitated for modern innovations, or redefined domesticity, this
book's broad purview gives a complete picture of how the visual
culture of post-war Britain expressed the concerns of a society
that was struggling to forge a new identity. Published in
association with the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
