 David Dimbleby Accompanying this important exhibition and major new BBC One series presented by David Dimbleby, A Picture of Britain is a celebration of the British landscape and the art that it has inspired, from Constable to Lowry, from Turner to Nash. Written by David Dimbleby and leading experts on British art from Tate, it is beautifully illustrated with landscape photography and great works of art. From the slopes of Snowdonia to the industrial Black Country.
from the grandeur of the Scottish Highlands to the meadows of Suffolk,
the British landscape has inspired artists and writers for generations.
But the authors show that it is only in the last two hundred years,
stirred by art and poetry, that large numbers of people have sought
out and visited wilder and more rugged vistas. In paintings, photographs
and words, this remarkable book captures our rich cultural heritage,
creating for the reader A Picture of Britain. |
