Stewards of the Nation's Art examines the internal tensions between the galleries' administrative directors, the aristocrats dominating the boards of trustees, and those in the Treasury who controlled the funds as well as board appointments.Andrea Geddes Poole uses meticulous primary research from all four of these institutions to discuss changing ideas about class, education, and work during this period. The conflicts between aristocratic trustees and administrative directors were not only about the running of the galleries, but also reflected the era's strain between aristocratic amateurs and nouveau riche professionals. Stewards of the Nation's Art is an absorbing study that explores the extent to which the aristocracy was able to hold on to cultural power in an increasingly professional and meritocratic age. 606 $aArt and state$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArt and state$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAristocracy (Social class)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAristocracy (Social class)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArt and state$xHistory 615 0$aArt and state$xHistory 615 0$aAristocracy (Social class)$xHistory 615 0$aAristocracy (Social class)$xHistory 676 $a708.213209041 700 $aGeddes Poole$b Andrea$f1959-$0941214 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458431603321 996 $aStewards of the nation's art$92122939 997 $aUNINA
