Moving between Cornish-based artist colonies and the London art scene, stylistically Tuke presents a fusion of progressive \u003cem\u003eplein airisme\u003c\/em\u003e, loose impressionistic handling, and a vivid palette, yet he was fundamentally an academic painter of exhibition nudes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough consistently successful throughout his lifetime, in the wake of two world wars Tuke’s depictions of bathing boys came to represent a seemingly outmoded epoch. This far-reaching study features new research from leading authorities on Victorian and Edwardian art. Essays tackle questions of wide-ranging artistic influences, experimental art practice, and a varied reception history. Tuke’s repeated portrayal of adolescent male nudes provokes challenging questions about the depiction, exhibition, and reception of the body—especially the young body—both then and now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in association with Watts Gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatts Gallery, Surrey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(June 7–September 12, 2021)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFalmouth Art Gallery, Cornwall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(September 18–November 20, 2021)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383837802732,"sku":"9780300265842","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24656163482294.jpg?v=1773383558","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/henry-scott-tuke-9780300265842","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
