Book Synopsis British Art in the Nuclear Age by : Dr Catherine Jolivette
Book excerpt: Rooted in the study of objects, this book addresses the role of art and visual culture in discourses surrounding nuclear science and technology, atomic power, and nuclear warfare in Cold War Britain. Far from insular in its concerns, this volume draws upon cross-cultural dialogues between British and European artists and the relationship between Britain and America to engage with an interdisciplinary art history that will also prove useful to researchers in a variety of fields including European history, politics, design history, anthropology, and media.
