Books by Colin Trodd

Originally published in 2004, this book is a modern account of the full range of Watts's different artistic interests and practices. Offering fresh approaches to his allegorical and mythological paintings, it also traces examines the institutional and biographical factors behind his public profile.

This original book explores the thinking behind Brown's murals in Manchester Town Hall. It argues that Brown was the most innovative artist in Victorian Britain and that he used this public commission to contest the liberal model of British history favoured by the Manchester Corporation. -- .
