Moving between Cornish-based artist colonies and the London art scene, stylistically Tuke presents a fusion of progressive plein airisme , loose impressionistic handling, and a vivid palette, and yet he was fundamentally an academic painter of exhibition nudes. Though consistently successful throughout his lifetime, in the wake of two world wars Tuke’s depictions of bathing boys came to represent a seemingly outmoded epoch. This far-reaching study features new research from leading authorities on Victorian and Edwardian art. Essays tackle questions of wide-ranging artistic influences, experimental art practice, and a varied reception history. Tuke’s repeated portrayal of adolescent male nudes provokes challenging questions about the depiction, exhibition, and reception of the body—especially the young body—both then and now.Published in association with Watts GalleryExhibition Schedule: Watts Gallery, Surrey (June 7–September 12, 2021)Falmouth Art Gallery, Cornwall (September 18–November 20, 2021) Language: English Country/Region of Manufacture: US Item Height: 270mm Item Length: 216mm Release Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
