Sensations by National Gallery

About Sensations

Bestselling Guardian art critic Jonathan Jones presents a bold and original reappraisal of British art history -- one that challenges convention and redraws the cultural map.In Sensations, Jones uncovers a powerful intellectual thread linking three centuries of artistic innovation. From the microscopic studies of Robert Hooke to the anatomical precision of George Stubbs and the provocative installations of Damien Hirst, he argues that empiricism -- a fierce commitment to observing the real world -- lies at the heart of British creativity.Connecting figures as diverse as William Hogarth, Thomas Gainsborough, Lucian Freud and Tracey Emin, Jones reveals how close observation and intellectual curiosity shaped Realism, influenced Impressionism, and helped give birth to modern art.Provocative, erudite and compelling, Sensations is essential reading for anyone interested in British art, cultural history and the evolution of artistic vision, perfect for admirers of The Story of Art.
