This title was first published 2003. In the twentieth century,
Britain was rich in artistic achievement, especially in sculpture.
Just some of those working in this field were Jacob Epstein, Henri
Gaudier-Brzeska, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Anthony Caro,
Richard Long, Mona Hatoum and Anish Kapoor. The work of these and
other known and less well-known artists has an astonishing variety
and expressive power, a range and strength that has placed Britain
at the hub of the artistic world. Alan Windsor has compiled a
concise biographical dictionary of sculpture in Britain in book
form. Richly informative and easy-to-use, this guide is an
art-lover's and expert's essential reference. Written by scholars,
the entries are cross-referenced and each concise biographical
outline provides the relevant facts about the artist's life, a
brief characterization of the artist's work, and, where
appropriate, major bibliographical references.

The Lost Landscapes of England Anthony Amies’ paintings assert a
classical conception of painting. From the mid 1970s, the British
artis pursued a radical counter-concept to the art of his time with
a stylistically peculiar landscape painting. They are calm and
enigmatic pictures that do without any scandal. In large-scale
drawings and oil paintings, he plays with the “blot” technique:
Amies abstracts the landscapes to convey an idea rather than a
realistic image. The reduction to land and sea is a reflection on
England and the loss of its individual landscapes to the monotony
of industrial and urban proliferation and sprawling housing
estates. In this idiosyncrasy - the assertion of the genre of
landscape painting and in the painterly quality of the works as a
contribution to the assertion of painting in art - lies the
importance of this English painter.
