Places of the Mind focuses on landscape drawing in the Victorian and Modern age, challenging the perception thatthe best British watercolours were produced between 1750and 1850. Drawing on the British Museum's impressivecollection, this books demonstrates the way in whichartists of the later 19th and early 20th centuries drew onthe tradition of renowned landscape artists Constable andTurner but developed and extended the genre, focusing onthe changing nature of the British countryside during theIndustrial Revolution and two world wars. Published tocoincide with an exhibition at the British Museum, thisbook includes works by Victorian artists Sir Edward JohnPointer and John Singer Sargent and by many well-known20th-century artists, such as John and Paul Nash, BenNicholson and Henry Moore, some of which have neverpreviously been published
