    Summary note
    Presenting the best and most imaginative creative responses by artists to the British prehistoric landscape over the last 250 years. This is the first significant publication to range over the entire field ? from Stonehenge and the Merry Maidens to the White Horse and the Long Man of Wilmingon ? by the likes of Turner, Constable, Blake, Nash, Ravilious, Piper, Hepworth, Moore, Ackroyd, Jarman, Deller and Long. 0Published to accompany an exhibition at Salisbury Museum and Art Gallery, this volume explores the most significant works of art engaged with prehistoric moments across Britain from the 18th century to the 21st. While some of the works in the earlier period may be familiar to readers ? especially Turner and Constable?s famous watercolours of Stonehenge ? the varied responses to British Antiquity since 1900 are much less well known and have never been grouped together. 00Exhibition: Salisbury Museum and Art Gallery, Salisbury, UK (08.04.-03.09.2017).
