More about the book
Judy Egerton writes in her introduction to the catalogue of the exhibition of Wright's work that the label “Wright of Derby” may seem permanent but carries provincial connotations that now appear inappropriate. This is because “provincial” suggests works that cannot compete with metropolitan standards, which is not the case for Wright's art, particularly since the exhibition of the Orrery and the Air Pump. However, Wright's individuality is closely tied to the provincial culture of the Midlands in the second half of the 18th century and a distinct provincial style.
