PLACES OF THE MIND (BRITISH MUSEUM) (HB)

In the mid-Victorian period, British artists began to convey not simply the physical properties of a landscape, but also its emotional and spiritual impact. This fascinating new study of British landscape art from 1850-1950 explores and presents these ‘places of the mind’, as the critic Geoffrey Grigson described them. Drawing on the collection of the British Museum, it includes works by Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Poynter, John and Paul Nash, Ben Nicholson and Henry Moore, some of which have never before been published.
