Description
This book examines the evolution of English art between the two World Wars, focusing on its recovery after the devastation of World War I. It discusses how new artistic ideas emerged alongside a desire for continuity and historical reference. The influence of artists like Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso is analysed, along with the contributions of women artists and curators to the avant-garde movement. The 1930s are highlighted as a peak period for modernism in Britain, while also addressing the shift towards themes of history, memory, and identity as tensions rose leading into World War II.
