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 Philip Hoare takes us on an exploration of the sea and the way it has provided a deep source of inspiration for artists featured in the Tate collection, from William Blake to Maggi Hambling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArtists have always seen the sea as a mirror of their anxieties and desires; an endless resource for their creativity and their dreams. Under our human sway, the sea has shifted in meaning, from creation myth to economic wealth, from mystic wonder to modern exploitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLook Again: The Sea\u003c\/em\u003e dives into the breadth of historical and contemporary works in Britain's national collection of art, as well as the beloved literature they have inspired. By reframing them within a social and political perspective, rather than a chronological or art-historical one, prize-winning author Philip Hoare shows how art has continually borne witness to the power and allure of the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362798747884,"sku":"9781849768276","price":21.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16324423482846.jpg?v=1772901055","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/look-again-the-sea-by-philip-hoare-9781849768276","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
