  abstract: "Rooted in the idea that Britain has always been a complex network of people, places, and ideas, this accessible and exciting book proposes a new history of art for the British Isles At the Tudor court we see how Henry VIII embraced Europe and how his daughter, Elizabeth I, set her sights on the world. As Ireland was colonised and England and Scotland formalised their union, we look at how Imperial Britain kept expanding. America, India, Africa-it considers how Britain's world colonisation impacted artists and looks at how art was acquired, traded, and looted by explorers, travellers, merchants, the military, and the navy. It follows artists into the British Empire and considers how they responded to Imperialism and the slave trade, and how artists have processed the end of empire and postcolonialism. Including photographs from the Crimean War and nineteenth-century China, Scottish colourists in France and French Impressionists in Britain. Sculptures by Jewish immigrants fleeing Nazi persecution and paintings by postwar Caribbean artists in Britain, Charlotte Mullins seeks to outline how Britain has always been transnational and this book will wholeheartedly reflect that"--
  note: Charlotte Mullins.
  note: "Artistic creativity in the British Isles stretches back to Ice Age engravings of reindeer, horses and birds. International networks were already shaping prehistoric art and by 1,000 CE artists working in Britain and Ireland were using lapis lazuli from Afghanistan, walrus tusks from Greenland, garnets from India and elephant ivory from Africa. The Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans introduced new styles from overseas, as did later European artists, attracted by the wealth of royal courts. Art was traded and looted across the British empire by colonial explorers, merchants and the military. In the course of the 20th century these islands have been a refuge, but also a place where migrants have faced resistance. Sculptures by Jewish immigrants fleeing Nazi death camps, paintings by post-war Caribbean artists and protest murals sparked by the Troubles in Northern Ireland all express artists' complex relationships with the idea of home" -- publisher.
