DESCRIPTION:In 1870 W. L. Wyllie exhibited his painting London from the Mo
 nument. It aroused fierce criticism for its ‘disagreeable’ representat
 ion of London’s air. Worse was to follow when a picture dealer took out 
 a penknife and stuck it in the middle of the canvas. Wyllie was not the fi
 rst English artist to discover that a realistic representation of London\,
  especially its smoke and fog\, was not acceptable to many critics and the
  buying public. My talk looks at the ways in which this attitude slowly ch
 anged through the works of\, among others\, Turner\, Monet\, Whistler and 
 the Japanese artist\, Yoshio Markino.
