This pioneering study argues that the concept of 'empire' belongs
at the centre, rather than in the margins, of British art history.
Recent scholarship in history, anthropology, literature and
post-colonial studies has superseded traditional definitions of
empire as a monolithic political and economic project. Emerging
across the humanities is the idea of empire as a complex and
contested process, mediated materially and imaginatively by
multifarious forms of culture. The twenty essays in Art and the
British Empire offer compelling methodological solutions to this
ambiguity, while engaging in subtle visual analysis of a previously
neglected body of work. Authors from Australia, Canada, New
Zealand, South Africa, the USA and the UK examine a wide range of
visual production, including book illustration, portraiture,
monumental sculpture, genre and history painting, visual satire,
marine and landscape painting, photography and film. Together these
essays propose a major shift in the historiography of British art
and a blueprint for further research. -- .
