"Published to accompany a landmark exhibition of the art of J.M.W.
Turner, this publication will highlight Turner's contemporary
imagery, the most exceptional and distinctive aspect of his work
throughout his career. Rather than making any claims for Turner's
protomodernist credentials, it will explore what constituted
modernity, and what it meant to be a modern artist, in his
lifetime. Turner's career spanned revolution and the Napoleonic
War, Empire, the explosion of finance capitalism, the transition
from sail to steam and from manpower to mechanisation, political
reform and scientific and cultural advances that transformed
society and shaped the modern world. While historians have long
recognised that the industrial and political revolutions of the
late eighteenth century inaugurated farreaching change and
modernisation, these were often ignored by artists as they did not
fit into established categories of pictorial representation. This
exhibition and its accompanying publication will show Turner
updating the language of art and transforming his style and
practice to produce revelatory, definitive interpretations of
modern subjects."
