Written by leading voices from the worlds of literature, art, and culture, each book sheds new light on some of the most well-known, best-loved, and thought-provoking artworks in the national collection, and asks us to look again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor, photographer, and broadcaster Johny Pitts examines the notion of 'visibility' in Tate's galleries, asking who gets to be seen - and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe well-known faces of our best-loved paintings hang visible on the walls of Tate, but look beyond and you will also see the 'invisible' figures in the background whose stories have been obscured by history, hidden in plain sight.

It suggests that perhaps the way to reach a fuller understanding of our history is to start looking at it through new eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340899205356,"sku":"9781849768252","price":21.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16324183482846.jpg?v=1772175831"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/johny-pitts.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
