| Summary: | Death haunts art. It lurks in the shadows of Edward Collier's Still Life as a reminder of our fragile mortality. It overcomes all in Francis Bacon's Triptych and Anna Lea Merritt's Love Locked Out. From personal responses to general meditations on the fleeting transience of life, Sean Burns looks at the breadth of historical and contemporary works in Britain's national collection to explore how artists have immortalised death in art. Look Again is a new series of short books from Tate Publishing, opening up the conversation about British art over the last 500 years, and exploring what art has to tell us about our lives today. |
