Book Review: Art and the Sea by Emma Roberts, ed.
- Authors
Sutherland, Claire
- Abstract
The book review discusses "Art and the Sea," edited by Emma Roberts, which explores the intersection of art and maritime history. The book features a collection of case studies that examine various aspects of maritime art, including stained-glass windows, interior decoration of ocean liners, and museum collections. The chapters cover a range of topics, including state propaganda, imperial expansion, and the labor involved in laying submarine cables. While the book offers interesting insights into maritime history, it lacks a detailed analysis of the featured artworks and designs. Additionally, the review highlights the missed opportunity to address the impact of empire and colonialism in the discussion of maritime history. Overall, the book would be of interest to maritime historians, but it could benefit from clearer structuring and framing of the central arguments.
