The term 'documentary' is far from straightforward and its influence on visual culture has been complex and profound. Britain pioneered the development of the documentary form; the filmmaker and producer John Grierson, who coined the term and is widely regarded as the father of documentary, defined it as 'the creative use of actuality'. Artists have been involved in the development of documentary practice from the very beginning, and this in turn has had a significant impact upon the visual arts in Britain. Although \"Making History\" is mainly focused on fine art, film, and photography, it also covers television documentary and docu-drama, poetry and literature, sociology and social anthropology. Documentary continues to be an area where new forms or structures are created, such as the 'fly-on-the-wall' approach. These in turn inspire and transform the language employed by artists, who adapt their techniques to their own ends. This catalogue presents documentary realism as a defining influence on visual culture in Britain, both as an established form for artists to respond against and an area of radical innovation in its own right. \"Making History\" features work by artists and practitioners including, Bill Brandt, John Bratby, William Coldstream, Tacita Dean, Jeremy Deller, Lucian Freud, John Grierson, Isaac Julien, Martin Parr, Humphrey Spender, and Gillian Wearing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49573026890001,"sku":"GOR012499507","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49585237885201,"sku":"GOR005375524","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52494886142225,"sku":"GOR009750348","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1854376829.jpg?v=1751442288"},{"product_id":"georgia-o-keeffe-book-tanya-barson-9781419722745","title":"Georgia O'Keeffe","description":"Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was one of the foundational figures of American modernism and a pioneering woman in the arts.

It traces the imaginary and actual journeys of influential artists and intellectuals from North America, the Caribbean and Latin America across the Atlantic to Europe, the reverse direction to that of the slave-ships that carried their ancestors, and from Europe and Africa to the United States, exploring the visual expression of the hybrid Black culture manifest in their work. While the narrative of modernism has often excluded artists and intellectuals of African descent, the concept of the Black Atlantic demonstrates that they have been central to the formation of modernity. Key academics, curators and artists from both sides of the Atlantic examine aspects of Gilroy's concept in relation to visual Modernism and contemporary art. Topics explored include negrophilia and the early twentieth century Parisian avant-garde; the Harlem Renaissance; the cultural links between Africa and Brazil; contemporary and 'post-black' art; and the way Paul Gilroy's original concept of the Black Atlantic, developed in the early 1990s, remains relevant to current discussions of migration and exploitation. With extensive illustrations, a timeline of key figures and events, and an extensive bibliography, this is both a visual feast and an essential reference. Artists featured include: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Romare Bearden, Constantin Brancusi, Aaron Douglas, Ellen Gallagher, David Hammons, Palmer Hayden, Langston Hughes, Wifredo Lam, Fernand Leger, Glenn Ligon, Chris Ofili, Pablo Picasso and Kara Walker. Tanya Barson is Curator (International Art) at Tate Modern. Peter Gorschluter is Head of Exhibitions and Displays at Tate Liverpool. With contributions by: Petrine Archer, Roberto Conduru, Manthia; Diawara and Edouard Glissant, Courtney J. Martin, Kobena Mercer, Huey Copeland with Thelma Golden and Glenn Ligon.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50200229282065,"sku":"GOR007158102","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50429230186769,"sku":"GOR010861044","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51693568917777,"sku":"CIN1854379232G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1854379232.jpg?v=1751091939"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-tanya-barson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
