Towards The Sun: The Artist-Traveller At The Turn Of The 20Th Century

At the turn of the 20th century, a generation of British artists equipped with cameras and canvases created artworks commemorating scenes and experiences in southern Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, India, and Japan.

With rich illustrations, this comprehensive monograph explores key sites visited by artist-travelers and investigates a wide range of artists, including Frank Brangwyn, Mary Cameron, Alfred East, John Lavery, Arthur Melville, and Mortimer Menpes, as well as other under-researched British artists.
