註釋This book was published on the occasion of "A Room Hung With Thoughts: British Painting Now," an art exhibition curated by Tom Morton and on view at the Green Family Art Foundation in Dallas, Texas from February 15th through May 11th 2025. The first exhibition of its kind to be held in Dallas, Texas, "A Room Hung With Thoughts" brings together an intergenerational group of forty painters, who share a strong connection to Britain-whether through birth, residency, or artistic education. The title of the show echoes an observation attributed to the seminal eighteenth-century British painter and theorist Sir Joshua Reynolds that "a room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts". Unpack these words, and what emerges is an insistence that making (and viewing) images is an activity that engages not only the eye, but also the mind. They remind us that a painting is set of ideas, given visual form. Placed into dialogue in the Green Family Art Foundation's exhibition spaces, the forty works (or "thoughts") in the show come together to provide visitors with an insight into British painting today-many of its key established and emerging voices, its multiple positions and vectors, and its vibrant, often unruly, and perennially questing energy.
