Zusatztext

Gregory Salter brings together a stimulatingly diverse range of artists and artifacts in his study of British culture just after the Second World War. His surprising and evocative readings of paintings and writings proffer the postwar experience as profoundly visual and full of colour, light and shade. - Alice Ferrebe, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
