The hustle and bustle of London, its changing landscape and world-renowned sights have provided a rich subject for the many artists who have visited and inhabited the city. Drawing from Tate's superb collection and beyond, this stunning book presents 100 paintings from the 17th century to the present. Whether iconic or unusual, topographical or verging on the abstract, each work offers a special perspective. Contextualised by an insight into the chosen view or location, the artist, and their particular technique, the paintings are accompanied by revealing and memorable anecdotes which vividly bring the images to life. Featuring some of the world's most influential artists -Canaletto, Turner, Constable, Pissarro, Monet, Kossoff and Auerbach - as well as lesser-known contemporary artists, such as David Hepher and Lisa Milroy, London in Paint brings together a selection of artworks which portray the changing faces of London, and provide a fresh look - through artists' eyes - at this much-loved global city. - Subject Terms:
