192 Seiten, Sprache: Englisch Turner is undisputedly one of the world's most influential artists; his massive visual legacy ? the watercolours, oils, engravings and over 20,000 sketches ?are ample evidence of his creative abilities. They also provide a view not just of the man, but of his time. David Blayney Brown takes this as his starting point. He provides a refreshingly different portrait ofTurner and his art, placing the man and his achievements firmly in the broad social and cultural context of the period he dominated, using this as a basis for a detailed assessment of his influence and artistic legacy. This is not dry-as-dust, academic art history, but a revealing analysis that brings its subject vividly to life. Not only does the author capture the sheer breadth and scale of Turner's involvements in the artistic activities of his times but, by placing Turner's story in an overall context, he also demonstrates vividly what makes Turner stand out from even the most celebrated of his contemporaries. Nor is the human side ofTurner neglected: David Blayney Brown provides fascinating insights into relationships with his life-long devotion to the Royal Academy, with which he was so deeply associated. His analysis of Turner's influence an subsequent generations of painters is just as penetrating, showing, for instance, why the purity of colour for which Turner strove was to influence the Impressionists and why, well into the 20th century, abstract painters found a precursor in Turner's later works. Beautifully illustrated throughout in full colour, the result of original research by a leading Turner scholar, The Art of J M. W Turner provides a complete overview of the life. times and work of one of the world's greatest painters. gepflegtes Exemplar, nur kleine Lesespuren * Verlag: eagle editions.
