The Invention of British Art

Join the nation’s leading art historian Bendor Grosvenor, co-presenter of the BBC series Britain’s Lost Masterpieces, for a dazzling illustrated journey through the history of British art. Was it the individual genius of artists like Hogarth and Constable that made British art ‘great’? Or were their careers shaped by a distinctly ‘British’ society, culture and history? He reveals how British art was shaped and he challenges what we think we know about our national artistic identity.

‘Inventive, profound, fabulously quirky, Bendor Grosvenor’s journey to the heart of British art takes him in directions that have never previously been trodden… A triumph’, Waldemar Januszczak
