THE ART OF THE GARDEN. THE GARDEN IN BRITISH ART, 1800 TO THE PRESENT DAY

Rich in metaphor and endlessly varied in form, the garden has inspired artists for centuries. Art of the Garden presents over 200 works from 1800 to today, revealing how painters, sculptors, photographers and contemporary artists have drawn on its imagery to explore themes of beauty, nature, identity and community. This expanded edition traces the garden's shifting role - from private idyll to shared space, from backdrop for creativity to lifeblood of local communities - but also considers its urgent contemporary resonances.
