Description: Fighting HistoryFighting History is the first book to engage with the story of British history painting and its survival into contemporary practice today. Beautifully illustrated with works from the Tate collection, as well as a number of paintings from other institutions and from practicing artists, the book traces the tradition of historical painting from the baroque allegory of the seventeenth-century court to contemporary works by Dexter Dalwood, Jeremy Deller, Michael Fullerton, and others. Three short essays address themes in history painting, from the question of the shifting meanings of 'history painting' to an account of the great radical artists in the genre. In an interview with Dexter Dalwood, one of Britain's most celebrated contemporary painters, the artist explains the enduring significance of historical painting in twentieth-century art and in his own practice. Includes contributions from Mark Salber Phillips, Dexter Dalwood, Clare Barlow and MG Sullivan.Product detailsFormat Hardback | 64 pagesDimensions 126 x 198 x 11mm | 252gPublication date 10 Nov 2015Publisher TATE PUBLISHINGCity/Country Publication London, United KingdomLanguage EnglishIllustrations note 35 color illustrationsISBN10 1849763585ISBN13 9781849763585Fast and neat shipping.Group your purchases to save on shipping costsFighting History is the first book to engage with the story of British history painting and its survival into contemporary practice today.
