Recenzii
Rebecca Searle has written a fascinating account of the part that Kenneth Clark's War Artists' Advisory Committee (WAAC) played in reflecting and recording the British experience of the Second World War. Chapters on aircraft production, and on Britain's bombing campaign against German cities, are valuable contributions to areas that have been given little attention in our national narrative. Our understanding of the more familiar Battle of Britain and the Blitz, the subjects of Searle's other chapters, is enriched by her close attention to the visual storytelling that operated in conjunction with other mediations - whether via radio, newspapers or films - to shape the population's experience of war.
[T]his slim volume will engage and inform scholars interested in the art and propaganda in the modern state in general and twentieth-century Britain in particular.
Rebecca Searle deftly combines social and political history, history of emotions, and visual studies to present an absorbing new book on Britain in the Second World War. This inter-disciplinary, expertly researched study presents a significant challenge to received histories about the role of official war artists through its skillful re-imagining of the relationship between fine art, experience, and propaganda.
Rebecca Searle's new book skillfully places the Second World War's official artists into the broader cultural history of the conflict, especially its central feature of aerial warfare. It enables us to understand better how artists themselves balanced the demand for propaganda with their own aspirations to create enduring work. Most important, by providing such a rich context for not only the production but also the wartime consumption of these paintings, she makes us want to turn to them again, able to appreciate them in new ways.
A really stimulating book that should be read by anyone interested in wartime culture. Drawing across images and archives and with a keen eye for the complexities of the past, Rebecca Searle gives us a host of new insights into the individual, institutional and cultural factors that conditioned the visual representation of aerial warfare in Second World War Britain.
Rebecca Searle presents a fresh angle on the well-trodden subject of renowned art historian Sir Kenneth Clark.
