广播员兼讲师 Leslie Primo 巧妙地将艺术史置于更广泛的排外主义和影响的政治背景中，既针对在英国工作的外国艺术家，也针对受外国文化影响的英国出生的艺术家。从汉斯·霍尔拜因到阿尔特米西亚·真蒂莱斯基，从威廉·贺加斯到安吉丽卡·考夫曼，熟悉的大师和鲜为人知的创作者都处于多元文化主义之中，而多元文化主义是当代艺术界固有的，但通常被忽略。
A timely history of immigration, integration, and national identity that reveals the true heritage behind some of the nation's defining artworks.
To truly understand British art is to recognize the pivotal contributions of the many foreign artists who have called Britain home. Traditional narratives have long obscured foreign influence, but this radical study challenges the notion of an exceptional or exclusive British culture, and in so doing rewrites the history of Renaissance and Enlightenment–era art.
Broadcaster and lecturer Leslie Primo expertly places art history in the wider political contexts of xenophobia and influence, addressing both foreign artists working in Britain and British-born artists affected by foreign cultures. From Hans Holbein to Artemisia Gentileschi, William Hogarth to Angelica Kauffman, familiar masters and lesser-known creators are situated within the multiculturalism inherent to, yet commonly dismissed by, the art world at this time.
Weaving together artists' experiences of both acclaim and adversity, The Foreign Invention of British Art not only demonstrates how immigration and diversification are so often the driving force behind creative innovation, but also reveals the true heritage behind some of the nation’s defining artworks.
Leslie Primo is an independent art historian specializing in early to late medieval and Renaissance art. He has presented several art history programs for the BBC and regularly lectures at the National Portrait Gallery, Imperial College London, The Arts Society, and other leading institutions. Primo’s commitment to interrogating the historical canon and championing inclusive narratives continues through this book, his first withThames & Hudson.
