In their stead, David Peters Corbett proposes a new way of looking at this painting from the Pre-Raphaelites to the Vorticists. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArguing that art history has been too reluctant to confront the fundamental question of how and what the consistency and application of paint signifies, Corbett investigates the work of English artists--among them Rossetti, Burne-Jones, Leighton, Watts, Whistler, Sickert, and the modernists of 1914 --through a historical examination of the meanings of the visual in English culture. By revealing that for many artists and thinkers the visual promised to deliver a more profound understanding of the world than language, the book offers a new reading of the art of the period between 1848 and the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penn State University Press","offers":[{"title":"World in Paint: Modern Art and Visuality in England, 1848-1914 | David Peters Corbett | Paperback | 9780271023618 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1760970","offer_id":49229588562072,"sku":"1760970","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/912EgADqR7L.jpg?v=1781219411","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/world-in-paint-modern-art-and-visuality-in-england-1848-1914","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
