Look Again is a new series of short books from Tate Publishing,
opening up the conversation about British art over the last 500
years, and exploring what art has to tell us about our lives today.
Written by leading voices from the worlds of literature, art and
culture, each book sheds new light on some of the most well-known,
best-loved and thought-provoking artworks in the national
collection, and asks us to look again. Author Philip Hoare takes us
on an exploration of the sea and the way it has provided a deep
source of inspiration for artists featured in the Tate collection,
from William Blake to Maggi Hambling. Artists have always seen the
sea as a mirror of their anxieties and desires; an endless resource
for their creativity and their dreams. Under our human sway, the
sea has shifted in meaning, from creation myth to economic wealth,
from mystic wonder to modern exploitation. Look Again: The Sea
dives into the breadth of historical and contemporary works in
Britain's national collection of art, as well as the beloved
literature they have inspired. By reframing them within a social
and political perspective rather than a chronological or
art-historical one, prize-winning author Philip Hoare shows how art
has continually borne witness to the power and allure of the sea.
