In this volume of 'The History of British Art', London emerges as a mid-point between Europe and America, drawing its influences from both, particularly from the avant-garde in Paris and New York. The book explores the impact of modernism on British art, along with the emergence of distinctly British counter-movements. Other themes which are discussed include: the changing roles of art education, patronage and institutions; Asian and black artists, conceptual art, and the Young British Artists.
