Description

This study of colonialism and art examines the intersection of visual culture and political power in late-18th-century British painting. Focusing on paintings from British America, the West Indies and India, Beth Fowkes Tobin investigates the role of art in creating and maintaining imperial ideologies and practices - as well as resisting and complicating them.
