The Great Fogs of the 1950s significantly influenced the atmospheric effects in film and advertisements, as explored in this interdisciplinary analysis of post-war Britain's art and culture. Lynda Nead examines how various media, including painting and television, evolved to reflect societal concerns and ideologies, particularly regarding racial differences and domesticity. By tracing the development of visual culture, the book reveals how these representations grappled with Victorian ideals and modern innovations while shaping a new national identity.
