Charlotte Mullins the Art Isles - a 15,000-Year Story of Art in Britain and Ireland

Artistic creativity in the British Isles stretches back to Ice Age engravings of reindeer, horses and birds.

By 1000BCE, British and Irish Artists used lapis lazuli from Afghanistan, walrus tusks from Greenland, garnets from India and elephant ivory from Africa.

Mullins brilliantly describes the influence of The Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans through to the European art inspired by the wealth of royal courts.

From the influence of The Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and Normans to art inspired by wealthy European courts, Mullins reflects on the art of the 20th Century and the influences of migration, resistance, identity and belonging that have and continue to shape it.

Fresh, pacy and surprising, this is a comprehensive not to be missed exploration of British art brought together into one book.

A Must for all lovers of Art and its history.
