Church Times - Book review: The Invention of British Art by Bendor Grosvenor

My latest book review for Church Times is on The Invention of British Art by Bendor Grosvenor:

'Grosvenor regularly to the question whether British art is art made in Britain or art made by British artists. Ultimately, he concludes, “it is the very foreignness of British art that makes it distinctly British”.

Grosvenor rightly pays significant attention to the influence of religion (principally Christianity), for good and ill, throughout the telling of his story.'

Other of my pieces for Church Times can be found here. My writing for ArtWay can be found here. My pieces for Artlyst are here, those for Seen & Unseen are here, and those for Art+Christianity are here.
