Welcome to The Art Traveller!

I am an art historian, cultural historian and film-maker. I’m the author of three books, two photo-books and am a contributor to several more books. I write about art, cinema and culture, and I give talks.

Since early childhood I have been fascinated by art, history and travel. I’ve been lucky enough – an determined enough – to make that my life’s work.

I consider myself an Art Writer rather than a journalist or a critic.

The Art Traveller’s four basic principles of Art Writing

1. Art writing is a creative practice.

2. Art writing embraces writing as a creative approach toward all aspects of art, including the art object and / or its context.

3. Art writing is not criticism but it can include all forms of art criticism, including that which is experimental and hybrid.

4. In Art Writing, I may engage intensely with the artwork, or it may simply be the starting point for fictional and/or poetic developments.

WHAT IS ‘ART TRAVELLING’?

Simply, it’s travel that prioritizes seeing art. It’s about researching where the best galleries are located, and how to visit them. It’s about finding out where a favourite art work is and planning to visit it. While I live in London and many of my best art experiences are here, I also travel to see art and my posts will give you all you need to know to art travel to see great art.
