Sensations: The Story of British Art from Hogarth to Banksy

By Jonathan Jones

A new history of British art from Hogarth to Banksy.

In this new and spirited account of British art from the dawn of the scientific revolution to the present, Jonathan Jones argues for empiricism as the artistic impulse that unites the greatest British art. Artists from Hogarth to Tracey Emin, Gainsborough to Lucian Freud, have all shared a passion for looking hard at human beings and the natural world. Jones shows how this zeal for precision and careful observation paved the way for Realism, Impressionism, and the birth of modern art.
