Krátky popis
A compelling and lively history that examines the lives of British
artists from the late-19th century to today. In This is Tomorrow
Michael Bird takes a fresh look at the 'long twentieth century',
from the closing years of Queen Victoria's reign to the turn of the
millennium, through the lens of the artists who lived and worked in
this ever-changing Britain. Bird examines how the rhythms of change
and adaptation in art became embedded in the collective
consciousness of the nation and vividly evokes the personalities
who populate and drive this story, looking beyond individual
careers and historical moments to weave together interconnecting
currents of change that flowed through London, Glasgow, Leeds,
Cornwall, the Caribbean, New York, Moscow and Berlin.From the
American James McNeill Whistler's defence of his new kind of modern
art against the British art establishment in the latter half of the
19th century to the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson's
melting icebergs in London, he traverses the lives of the artists
that have recorded, questioned and defined our times. At the heart
of this original book are the successive waves of displacement
caused by global wars and persecution that conversely brought fresh
ideas and new points of view to the British Isles, educational
reforms opened new routes for young people from working-class
backgrounds, movements of social change enabled the emergence of
female artists and artists of colour, and the emergence of the mass
media shaped modern modes of communication and culture. These are
the ebbs and flows that Michael Bird teases out in this panoramic
account of Britain and its artists in across the twentieth century.
