Investigates the rich interchange between documentary and art practice in Britain throughout the twentieth century. Although this work is mainly focused on fine art, film, and photography, it also covers television documentary and docu-drama, poetry and literature, sociology and social anthropology.
This volume contains 10 representative works of art in the Huntington collection that illustrate the richness and diversity of British painting during the later 18th and early 19th centuries. Artists at this time borrowed styles from ancient Greece and China up to the just closing rococo period.
