John Constable: Earth and Sky (Cv/Visual Arts Research Book 92) Details
Cv/VAR 92 explores the work of Britain’s foremost national landscape painter John Constable (1776-1837). Based on her view of the recent Constable exhibition at Tate Britain, author Janet Barber considers the development of the artist, placing his works in context of the cultural conditions of his time, and noting contemporary reactions to his public exhibitions at the Royal Academy; efforts which often met with a profound distaste for their powerfully expressive naturalism. A quality that countered accepted frameworks of pictorial representation.As well as working as a journalist for national newspapers and magazines, most recently specialising in public sector journalism, Janet Barber has published seventeen books. She has contributed articles and reviews to Cv Journal of Art and Crafts, including Keith Vaughan, F.E.McWilliam, Christopher Dresser and Tony Cragg.
