‘The most up-to-date survey of the field I know: a succinct fusion of information, insight and sweeping historical range that integrates both the most academic and the most avant-garde currents in a total view’
– Robert Rosenblum In this book Frances Spalding reassesses the astonishing achievements of British artist from the Edwardians William Nicholson and Walter Sickert to the Bloomsbury painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant; from the work of Paul Nash and David Jones between the wars to that of Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, David Hockney and the host of younger artist who have emerged since the 1960s.

While modernist ideas from Europe and more recently, American trends have had their influence, the author argues that British artists have drawn much of their inspiration from native traditions and are distinguished by their passionate adherence to individualism.
