The Whole Picture: The colonial story of the art in our museums & why we need to talk about it

The Whole Picture is a groundbreaking book that challenges the way we think about art, museums, and colonial history.

With a forensic eye, Alice Procter dissects the problematic legacies of Western museum culture, revealing the hidden stories and uncomfortable truths that have been left out of the canon.

Through four chronological sections, each named after a different kind of art space, Procter takes readers on a journey through the fascinating, enlightening, and often shocking tales of art pieces from around the world.

From propaganda paintings to tattooed Maori skulls, and contemporary artists who are taking on colonial history in their work and activism today, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in rethinking and disrupting the way we interact with museums and galleries.

With its smart, accessible, and brilliantly structured approach, The Whole Picture is a provocation to look more critically at the accepted narratives about art and to challenge the status quo.
