Survey of a hundred years of Art in Britain from the Victorian Leopold Augustus Egg to Francis Bacon. This talk examines ways in which Britain’s isolated position resulted in an art which, while occasionally showing European influences, for most part remained steadfastly and uniquely British. Expect a tongue in cheek analysis of such popular British archetypes as the "stiff upper lip", a "nice cup of tea", "no sex we are British" and of course "the weather"!
