About a news article in The Guardian

The Tate Britain art gallery is holding a very interesting exposition on the migration art of the British culture. According to the experts, British art is formed almost entirely by currents which come from neighbor countries, which have contributed to the constitution of various artistic topics such as its landscape, marine art, religious art, fowl and animal portraits, etc.

The typical landscape in Constable's depictions do not refer to the British outdoor, but to the Netherlands' landscape. The development of the show centers around the 500 years of British art and the argument that during its process it has been influenced by this fact, directly linked to the political conflicts in Europe. Most of the migrations towards the United Kingdom are related with portions of the population in France, Netherlands and England, which sought in different regions of Britain a place to establish themselves fleeing some war or conflict. The show is composed of various paintings that deal with the subject of immigration not only through landscapes, but through its typical characters.
