Moving between Cornish-based artist colonies and the London art scene  stylistically Tuke presents a fusion of progressive plein airisme  loose impressionistic handling  and a vivid palette  and yet he was fundamentally an academic painter of exhibition nudes. Though consistently successful throughout his lifetime  in the wake of two world wars Tukes depictions of bathing boys came to represent a seemingly outmoded epoch. This far-reaching study features new research from leading authorities on Victorian and Edwardian art. Essays tackle questions of wide-ranging artistic influences  experimental art practice  and a varied reception history. Tukes repeated portrayal of adolescent male nudes provokes challenging questions about the depiction  exhibition  and reception of the bodyespecially the young bodyboth then and now.
