LORD, PETER

Peter Lord is an art historian who specialises in the study of the visual culture of Wales. He has particular interests in the artisan painters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in the imaging of industrial Wales in the first half of the twentieth century, and in the theoretical questions which arise from the study of visual culture in a nation regarded as marginal to the mainstream of western art history. He is the author of a three-volume history of Welsh art - The Visual Culture of Wales (Cardiff, 1998, 2000, 2003).
